Ina at Just us Girls #830 is asking us to use an 'old favorite' die from our stash - I found two that worked nicely together and used Julie's wonderful colors from Color Hues #136!
It just so happens that I need a wedding card in September - thanks Ina, and Julie!
Here is my closeup so you can see that I used glassine in my frame - it's such
a dreamy creamy color!
This cover plate is Fancy Floral 1 from PFS and cut from PTI Ivory cardstock. My card base was topped with a gorgeous matte gold foil paper.
The 'frame' was actually created using two label dies - also from PFS.
Next comes this all-time favorite love die from Paper Smooches! I just
love its MOD font, don't you?
Hey! The Paper Players are looking for love in all our crafty spaces!
LIGHT BULB MOMENT! Hope it's summer-y enough!
Hope you have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Michele, this is a beautiful wedding card for someone and I would bet that this becomes a keepsake! The gold and white are so good together and the floral die is amazing!!!!!! thanks for playing at Just Us Girls, and often!
ReplyDeleteWowza, what a way to jump start that "lull" in your crafting time! This is LOVELY and perfect for our PP challenge! I do not think I've ever seen these dies, but they are all gorgeous! I think Little Red Wagon has a "see-through" challenge this week and this may qualify for it as well!
ReplyDeleteSummery and full of golden sunshine! Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you chose these dies as favorites Michele and how perfectly they worked for both a wedding card and also our challenge at Color Hues! Is glassine like vellum? I seem to remember at one point having some glassine bags and they reminded me of like wax paper...whatever it is though worked beautifully behind your love die cut! Lovely, lovely card my friend and thanks so much for sharing it with us at Color Hues!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card for the upcoming occasion and for the two challenges you played in. Love the cream and gold, and the dies you used are timeless. Paper Smooches fonts were the best, and this one goes perfectly with the fun cover plate!
ReplyDeleteNice mix of challenges. Pretty card with a fun font! Thanks for joining in at JUGS
ReplyDeleteYes, I love the font with those funky little flowers! This is really cute and I think it looks like summer with all of the playful flowers and leaves. Super cute and so happy to have it in our Just Us Girls gallery!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card with all that gold loveliness. Love your frame with the glassine and Love die cut.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Wedding card came to my mind, at least you got yours done! Very elegant, Michele
ReplyDeleteWow, Michele! What a beautiful wedding card! The Fancy Floral die cut is definitely fun and summer-y. If I were the lucky bride who receives this, I would frame it for sure. Thank you for playing in my challenge at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteLovely take on both challenges.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wedding card Michele. Cream and gold are perfect for the occassion, and I love your wonderful flower coverplate. xx

ReplyDeleteLove your take on my colours Michele, such a simple idea but so effective! So pleased my Colour Hue's pair choice inspired you. :)
ReplyDeleteMichele, this is stunning! I love the gold background and the beautiful white floral/leaves die. The vellum is such a lovely addition to the gold sentiment. So happy you joined our challenge at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteLove that bold floral die cut over the gold, Michele! The vellum behind the 'love' sentiment sets it off nicely against the busy background! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! LOVE that golden background with that fabulous "love" (and, yes, I have kept every Paper Smooches die I have ever owned including the "love"!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card Michele! A fabulous collection of dies - I love the coverplate and the love font - and the sheen of the gold is gorgeous (and a clever way to add a summer glow to your wedding card too!) Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
