Everything Eleanor – A Stamping Journey

I made a card today for a lovely friend who is getting married tomorrow! I thought it was safe to post it here as I don’t think she will be visiting any time soon. I think she has other things to do. 🙂

She is having a black and white themed wedding so of course I had to make the card black and white. For this card I CASED myself. It makes life easy doesn’t it!! This is the original card I made in Crumb Cake and Black. Here is my black and white version. Sorry about the lighting. It is rainy and overcast today.

I used the ‘Everything Eleanor’ stamp set and ‘Petite Pairs’. After I stamped the swirl on the white card I ran it through the Big Shot with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. I stamped the flower onto scrap white card and cut it out and then raised it up with dimensionals. Then a few pearls and some white Organza ribbon adds the elegance factor. I hope she likes it. I do hope the rain stays away tomorrow though. 🙂

Have a stamping weekend. I am making progress on my Convention swaps. I might actually get them done this weekend.

Thanks for visiting.

Yesterday we went to a wedding for a work colleague of Glenn’s. It’s always interesting when you don’t even know the bride and groom!! It was a lovely wedding though. The wedding invitation was in a Crumb Cake colour with black swirls. I knew for the wedding card I wanted to replicate this. The stamp set ‘Everything Eleanor’ was dusted off. I have hardly used this set but it was one I loved when it first came out. Here is the card.

It is hard to tell in the photo but I Heat Embossed the swirl, the flower and the greeting so it had a nice shine to it. The greeting is from ‘Petite Pairs’ and punched with the large oval punch. I used the Crumb Cake Taffeta ribbon (retired) and some pearls to finish it off. I thought it would be a bit heavy to have a Black card base so I matted the stamped piece in black cardstock and layered it on a crumb cake base.

I think the Bride and Groom will like it???

Have a good week this week. I hope it is a creative week for you. 🙂
