You Are Sew Special to Me
For today's card, I used another image from the now (sadly) sold out Stamptember set from Tim Holtz. This card came together so fast once I saw sketch 155 for Freshly Made Sketches. I had the Miss Caroline 6x6 paper pad from My Mind's Eye sitting on my desk and these two designs from it just called out to be used to together. I used the frame from My Favorite Things Blueprints #13 to cut out both sheets and then cut down the floral print to layer over the other. I little Sky Lawn Trimmings finished off the seam. I then cut my image out with the pennant shape from Lawn Fawn's Stitched Party Banners and finished it off with some of the same Lawn Trimmings and adhered it with pop dots. Perfect!

A Beautiful Wedding
After the memorial on Saturday, the hubby and I attended my boss', although I really consider him a friend, wedding. This one has been a long time coming and I was delighted to attend (even though I'm really not a fan of social events and get really anxious about them). It was an Episcopalian ceremony. I've never attended one and it was quite beautiful (although the incense was a little much for my head). It was an amazing sight to see him so happy and so in love.
The reception was nice. It was a beautiful night outside. I tried the pear cider (delicious) and chatted with some co-workers. Kids ran around playing with a basket of balls that David brought out for them. It was such a beautiful night and the best part was seeing David so very happy. I can't think of a more deserving person.
I decided to make a card for him (he very specifically said no gifts). I thought about doing something whimsical, but then changed my mind for something more formal. I don't have many traditional wedding stamps, but I did find this delightful silhouette in an Inkadinkado wedding set. I used some Verafine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed it with some clear embossing powder. I used a dies from my new My Favorite Things Blueprints #13 set for the flag. I embossed the vellum with a Victorian folder from Cuttlebug and then used the large stitched die from the Blueprints set to cut it down to size. I stamped the sentiment on the card base using a stamp from the Simply Sentimental set from Newton's Nook. Then it was a matter of laying it together, added a little Lawn Trimmings in Silver Sparkle to finish it off.
