For The Bride

I finally feel like it is summer here in New England! School just finished on Thursday so I now have lots time off before I work at summer school. It is hot and sunny here also so that summer feel is all around New England. I can't wait to get out in the garden and also just create and play making cards.

This card I just finished for my niece's bridal shower. I had a really hard time making a bridal shower card. This is the third different image I stamped for it. I love my Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamps so I should have used them first and saved myself s lot of time. Next time I'll remember! I used pegs from 3 different sets to make the heart.

I couldn't find any DP that went well enough to use behind the heart and it was too plain with just the colored CS so I decided to just use an embossed back round. The heart has Stickles dotted randomly on the flowers all around the heart but this time I also added the mini pearls for a little extra something. The funny thing is they show up in the picture but IRL they barely were noticeable because of all the sparkle from the Stickles. It turned out so be what I consider a fairly simple card but that's okay for a change. My niece liked it so that's all that is important.

These are some wonderful challenges that fit my card

By The Cute and Girly June Challenge-This challenge is something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. I used the something old. I have had these peg stamps for many years and still love them as much as when I bought them. I also used my favorite blue (Bliss Blue) that is been gone for a long time from SU.
