Mix and Match Card

This is a card I made for a challenge on Midwest Stamper's Yahoo Group. It uses the "Mix & Match" technique. This is a technique where you use the background paper for part of the image as well. Here I used it for the hat.

The stamped image is by B Line Designs, LLC #LF119E. I also used a Brilliance reinker of Moonlight White to fill in the pearls and give them dimension. The little rose is one I picked up at Wal-mart back in the ribbon department.

Overall the card is a 5x7.

Wedding Card

This is a card I made for a sorority sister's wedding next weekend.
I used black, metallic silver, matt white and charcoal gray card stock. The B is embossed in black and is from a set by Anna Griffin, the black brads are actually white. I didn't have any black, so I used a magic marker and colored them.
The black CS is stamped Brilliance, Moonlight White and the white CS is stamped in Memories Black with a Magenta floral background stamp. Both of the ovals are Nestibilites. The silver CS is just a sliver placed in between the two layers and the ends cut off to even up the card.
