Love

Geez, where does the time go?! I can't believe we are already into February! We have been so busy during school holidays (it is hard work keeping 3 little girls amused!!), but thankfully school is back now, and we have settled into a nice routine, which is about to be turned upside down again when uni starts in a week!

Today's card is for my cousin who is getting married next week. I knew what I wanted to make, I just couldn't get my vision on to the card. Thankfully, I found some challenge inspiration to help get the ball rolling ;)

As usual, there is great sketch inspiration over at The Sketchy Challenges, I have flipped it on it's side, and thanks to a gorgeous Sweet Pea sentiment, I was able to make it work! It's also my first time playing over at Live & Love Crafts, and a perfect chance to play with my new lace (I have inked it with DI Antique Linen). I also decided to throw my hat in the ring over at Cute Card Thursday's 'lots of love' challenge, I think my sentiment says it all really!

I was a little bit cross about how my stamped image showed up on the card. I wanted to keep it faded for a shabby chic look, but in the light, it didn't quite turn out that well. IRL, it looks great!

Supplies used are:

Bazzil, Stampin'  Up! cardstock
Graphic 45 - Le Romantique papers
Stampin'  Up! Early Espresso, and Tim Holtz DI Antique Linen
Flourishes stamp set, Sweet Pea sentiment
Pearls
Spellbinders Floral Ovals and Classic Ovals
Stampin'  Up! Scalloped edge punch
Lace
