To Have and to Hold and some amazing flowers

Happy Thursday all!! I hope you are all well and enjoying the summer!! This week has been a little cloudy and warm but at least we have had a little less rain. Our weather has been unseasonably rainy. I have to say, that my flowers are loving it though!!

Today I am popping in to share a card that I made for yet another wedding and some gorgeous flowers. Tis the year and season for weddings....so...time to share another wedding card.

I incorporated the SC444 sketch created by Janette Olen for Splitcoast Stampers and the Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light challenge: Love, Wedding or Anniversary.

I have enjoyed creating my own backgrounds and designer paper by brayering an embossing folder. This folder is the Darice Damask folder brayered with Soft Sky ink. The floral ribbon banner is cut out with a custom ODBD Birdcage and Banner die.

CARD RECIPE
Stamps Used: Our Daily Bread Designs- Wedding Blessings , Anniversary Blessings

Dies Used: ODBD Bird Cage and Banner Dies , ODBD Quatrefoil Pattern Die ,
Spellbinders Gold Labels Four and A2 Scalloped Borders One, Spellbinders Squares and Scalloped Circles

Embossing folder: Darice Damask (brayered with Soft Sky)

Ink: Soft Sky, Black

and now to my favorites...from God's natural artwork in my garden!!! I love all the surprises each day brings....I won't bore you with all 21 varieties....

Of course the addition of my daughter, Nicki, in the photo just makes the flowers that much more beautiful and special

Thanks for stopping by!!

May God Bless you!!
