Yep, it's that time again....we are celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary in a few weeks, and every year I like to do a little l/o just for us. So how perfect that I got all my Webster's Pages 'In Love' design team goodies a couple of days ago!! I LOVE this collection, such pretty papers and the embellishments (sigh, oh those cameos!) I came up with the page design after playing with the Websters Pages digi stuff. I was making little 'signature' designs (see the bottom of my post)...and I was kinda fond of the design I came up with for my signature line and used the design for this page!.....
I was also so happy to have a chance to use one of the newest Dusty Attic chippies on this page. Isn't that Heart Flourish chipboard lovely? The finish I gave it was pretty simple. Just a coating of white Gesso, a touch of pink chalk ink and a coating of Glossy Accents. (close-up above)
TIP: I've mentioned this one before, but in case anyone missed it. I always love to save the baking from my ornate style stickers. This is a piece from a Prima felt strip. I just lay the piece on my page and then use a make-up sponge to dabb over it with some pink chalk ink.
When you lift off the piece of paper, this is the left behind result. (below) The backing piece has a waxy/shiney finish on one side that wipes off the ink nicely, so you can use the piece over and over.
While I had out my bits and pieces of the 'In Love' collection, I decided to make up a couple of cards too! I have some Weddings and Wedding Showers coming up so I thought these would be perfect for some cardmaking!
The chipboard fram here is another yummy new piece by Dusty Attic (these are a really nice size for cardmaking!) ATC Frame Set #1
Websters Pages has something new out that they call 'Perfect Motifs" ....you know all those beautiful images we like to cut out from the Websters Papers? Butterflies, dressforms, hearts & blooms? Yep! they now make this wonderful paper pad just filled with these images, just made for cutting out! I did this with the little dressform I added to the card, as well as the butterflies.
And here is one more card I made, again using the In Love collection papers, mini pade papers and the Journaling cards!
Well, I'm off to bake for my nephew (and his fiance's) bridal shower (Jack & Jill) this weekend. Hmmm, now which card shall I use this weekend? :)
