We had the pleasure of going to a lovely friends wedding last weekend (I loved the fact we are friends with both the bride and groom – so much nicer than just knowing one of them!). I had helped design the invitations which did involve a retired stamp set as their theme was Australian wildflowers. The only stamp set I knew would suit was Bloom Away (the two central images are from that set, the two flower images either side are non-SU! stamp images). The invites were made using the lovely naturals ivory card stock, Cherry Cobbler and brushed gold card stock so I wanted the wedding card to be similar in colour.
I chose a more subtle flower feature for the card using the Flower Garden textured impressions embossing folder and the scalloped heart of hearts embosslit (retiring). The entire card got sprayed with shimmer spray (mix approximately 20 drops champagne paint with 100ml isocol alcohol in a spritz bottle and spray). Anyway the wedding was absolutely lovely, the weather co-operated and it was a fantastic day of friends, food and fun.
