Inspired Stamps Wedding Card

Hello and welcome here!  It's time for some more Inspired Stamps inspiration.  This week the DT could chose between a wedding card, or a baby card.  I chose to make a wedding card.  I've been feeling a bit under the weather and it sure helps having lovely Spring weather!  I hope you're enjoying some nice weather too.

Card Size:  5" x 5"
I used 1 Corinthians 13:13 around the edge of my card and I love how it turned out.  I used plain cardstock and you could use the wedding colours to personalize it. 


Inside:
For the inside of the card I used 'Congratulations' from More Perfect Sentiments and the heart is from Hymn:  Mushrooms and Leaves.

Recipe:  Inspired Stamps SS-1 Corinthians 13:13, More Perfect Sentiments & Hymn:  Mushrooms and Leaves, Bazzill mauve CS, CTMH White Daisy CS, CTMH Ink-Black & Petal, Spellbinders Adorning Squares, Pearls, Foam Squares.

It's difficult to take pictures of my card when I have a camera hog in the way!  Angel is the newest addition to our family...she's mostly white with dark patches that look like angel wings on her back.


Enjoy,

Inspired Stamps Hymn Girl Card

Hello and welcome here!  I am really enjoying the set of Hymn Girls released by Inspired Stamps!  I love how versatile they are, you can paper piece them, or colour them, or just leave them as is.  Do you have a favourite??  This week the DT are sharing cards using the Hymn Girls, so be sure to check out what they've created!

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"
I used Hymn Girls:  August for the main image.  For the background behind the girl I used the dots from Background Stamps stamp set.  I paper pieced her dress and added a touch of colour to her skin, very quick and easy.  The patterned paper is from Bazzill Basics Vintage Marketplace.

It's difficult to tell from the photo but I paper pieced her head as well, I added it to the card front using foam squares.

Inside:
For the inside I used the sentiment from Spring Sketches.
