Introducing Mr. & Mrs....
When I found the stamps that are used in today's card, I knew I HAD to have them for my collection even though I am long since married and so are my friends. They are both made by Stampendous and I love them. Both have that flowy softness that goes hand in hand with anything bridal. Whatdaya think?
I paired these great little stamps with some Doodlebug bridal paper(that I had been hoarding for way too long) and voila! I love the end result! I can't wait to send it to someone special. I chose red as an accent color because I loved the crispness and contrast with the black and white but any color would work here. I figure when I list my extras in my Etsy shop, I will offer custom color combos to match the wedding.
I am also quite happy with the oval/circle embellishment under my sentiment. I have never tried it even though I have seen similar things done this way. Methinks this isn't the last time you will see this here. ;) I love that it gives you a nice place for brads or eyelets to attach the panel without looking cramped around the stamped image.The bride and groom were really fun to color. Even though the image is a loose line drawing, the areas were very forgiving under my markers. I am just thrilled with this stamp! I got it at my local Hobby Lobby. (Stamps are on sale this week!) I found the "Mr & Mrs" which is by the same manufacturer, at my Archiver's. I'm off to work so I will finish up for now. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

What a great wedding card Kyla! You can hardly go wrong with black and red for elegant in my book. That is a very cute stamp and I also like the look of the cicle inside of the oval. I buy lots of my stamps at Hobby Lobby when they have their 50% off sales. They have a lot of the Mouse House stamps that I love as well as a variety of different companies. They are even branching out into the clear stamps. I wish they would have more nestabilities though because with their 40% off coupon it's the best deal in town.

ReplyDeleteThat is ADORABLE! I love the look of the drawing-- so simple and cute. And you're right about the oval/circle-- looks great!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous wedding card! I especially like the contrast between the white background and black doodles and the black background with the white doodles.
