Another Family Wedding Coming Up!

This summer in July, my niece Taren is getting married.  Another fun family wedding!  I love going to weddings and the fact that this one is a family one makes it even better.  We have awesome family weddings!  So much fun......like when my nephew Jamie got married in October last year and when my other nephew Marty got married in September the year before.  So last week Taren and her mom, as well as her future mom-in-law came over to our place to do one "prototype" wedding invitation. 

I am helping her design and make her wedding invitations.  She has chosen an "all white" wedding....everyone in the wedding party will be in white.  This is classic Taren.  So simple and elegant.  We were happy with the way the invitations turned out.  It is all white with touches of grey just so the finished invitation was not too stark.  When we actually do the invitations, I'll post pics of the final one!  We are all getting together again in 2 weeks to make 185 invitations!

 

In the meantime, here is a second card that I am teaching in my Spring Fever class at Clipper Street.

 

I am still using the same stamp set, Spring Garden from our Craft Lounge. I love this because the outline images are perfect for coloring!  And I love to color!

 I watercolored these images using inkpads and a paintbrush.  If you rub off some ink off your pad onto any non-porous surface, like a plastic yogurt lid you can use that as a painter's palette to pick up ink with a brush.  For this card I used Distress ink in peeled paint and worn lipstick.  The images are mounted on double layers of scalloped rectangles which I made using my nestabilities dies. 

Enjoy!
