I have a couple of cards for you this time including one with some (ahem) non-traditional wedding colors. My step-son and his fiancé are getting married Sunday July 7th and our grandson to be picked the colors. Since Jake is all about a certain tractor brand... we will have a distinct green and yellow color scheme.... How can I tell the little guy I prefer New Holland blue???? :-)
And then there is this card featuring gold embossing on black card stock. A very simple scheme but elegant nonetheless. I embossed the doves on a separate piece and fussy cut the image before adding to the top of the faux cake. It adds just a bit of dimension and makes the entire cake appear to "pop" off the page....
Hope you enjoyed the projects I had to share and don't forget to check out all the others for your chance to win!
Please join my "sister sticks" for more fabulous projects....
