Hey everyone...I'm sitting here in shock watching the live stream news about a giant fire in San Bruno, CA which is very near where I lived and worked for several years of my life. It looks like a gas main blew up and it is really scary. I'm sending some prayers out that way to all the residents and emergency personnel that are dealing with a horrible situation right now. Somehow, stressing over my blog post for today seems pretty minor.
Tonight I'm changing out of Fall mode to share a custom card I made for a photographer friend. She wanted to send one of her brides a thank you note using her wedding color (pink) and a photograph. My friend gave me this very artsy, cool photo she took and I made it into this clean and simple/elegant card...
My "go to" wedding font is usually Scriptina...which I used here. I printed the words on a piece of vellum to soften the contrast of the photograph. Vellum always seems wedding-y to me too.
Layers of white and yummy pink Bazzill cardstock...
A gorgeous Prima flower...
This is a great technique to use for scrapbooking too. Pretty with portraits, weddings and such. For our honeymoon scrapbook album I printed out my vacation journal entries on vellum and then put the vellum sheet over some of our favorite pictures. I need to get crack-a-lackin on some new Fall projects! Take care and have a wonderful night!
Such a stunning and elegant card!
