Love is in the Air

With spring comes love and that means lots of weddings. I've had a couple of recent ones with not so traditional colour schemes. On both cards I have used For The Bride stamp set but with totally different colours. The first card is Whisper White and Basic Black with silver embossing, while the second is in Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip and gold embossing. The second card is also a gate fold card. Base is cut at 14.5cm x 29cm then scored at 7.25cm from each end to create the middle opening on the card.

Hope this gives you some inspiration.
