Today I was in a Christmas mood and added a wedding card at the request of a co-worker. Not sure she'll like this one but with no inspiration, I really get stuck! So I made this one just to show her something and then maybe she can give me some idea of what else she'd like! ;) The first card is using stamps from the "Tropical Christmas" set from Close to My Heart and "Sunny Season's Greetings" set from SU! on the inside. Card base is SU! Kraft, embossed layer is Bermuda Bay, and the image/sentiment are matted with Pink Passion. Image is colored with Copics.

Next up is the wedding card...I used SU! "Elegant Soiree" DSP, Baja Breeze, and Soft Suede (paper and ink). The butterflies are a SU! Embosslit "Beautiful Wings" and the embossing folder is also SU! (forgot the name but it matches the DSP). The front sentiment is from "Baroque Motifs". For rather "simple" card, it took me forever to put together (I cut 3 different patterned papers before I found one I liked!).

fab christmas card thanks for joining us at 2sisters this week good luck :) Tracy
Love the flamigo card and the non-traditional Christmas color choice. Looks like you win the competition and get to make our Christmas cards this year! YAY!
The wedding card is gorgeous especially with the emobssing (SU! Elegant Lines). I'm anxious to hear how she likes it.
I had the same problem with my purple-green-orange mermaid card last week. I pulled (and cut) 3 different shades of each to get it right. Not my fault though (ha!) it's just hard colors to combine...
Till later, Love, SAM aka MOM
This is gorgeous thanx for joining us at Crafty sentiments, and good luck..
