FOR THE NEWLYWEDS

Hi Stampers!

On Saturday, the daughter of our dear friends is getting married....and so this evening I sat down and made her a quick card. Her tastes are simple but elegant and so I wanted to make a card that was also simple and elegant....and here is what I came up with....
I started by stamping the big swirl from the Baroque Motifs stamp set with black on a half sheet of white....then I covered the entire front of the card with a quarter sheet of vellum (that is why the edges of the card look blurry). Then all I did was take a small piece of white cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot using an embossing folder and layered that with a piece of black cardstock. I put a scrap of white organza ribbon with a knot around the entire thing and attached it to the vellum with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.....stamped on white with black ink, punched with the large oval and layered on black cardstock that was punched with the scallop oval. EASY PEASY!!!

It must admit that it looks much better in real life. One of these days, I might have to cash in my white box that I take pictures in for something a wee bit better....but it works for now.

Well....I need to clean up my stuff and get to bed. I hope you are having a good week.....and hopefully tomorrow or Friday I can post my stamp clubs' swap cards.

Until next time, find some time for stamping!!

Blessings..........Cindy
