A Wedding Card for CCMC344

It's Thursday and time for a new challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have a beautiful color combination of Blackberry Bliss, Rose Red and Blushing Bride.

I decided to go with a bit of an ombre' look with these colors and the awesome Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration Catalog.

I used Blackberry Bliss for the card base since it's such a striking color.  Then I simply added the leaf design that I created by sponging on the three colors.  I started out with Blushing Bride at the top then added in Rose Red to the center and Blackberry Bliss at the bottom.  I love the soft look of the colors together.

I kept the rest of the card simple since I want the background paper to really stand out.  The sentiment and vine wreath come from Your Perfect Day on page 44 in the Occasions Catalog.  I stamped the wreath with Blackberry Bliss on Whisper White.  I stamped over it again without re-inking to create a lighter image and make the wreath look fuller.  I made sure to change the position of the stamp slightly to make the leaves stamp in a new position.  Next, I stamped the sentiment in the center and die cut the whole thing with a Circle Framelit.  Small hearts made from the Heart Border Punch and Rose Red cardstock go around the wreath to bring in some color.  Last little tidbit is a small flower from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.  It's done with Blushing Bride cardstock and given a bit of dimension by curling up the petals with a stylus and Stampin' Pierce Mat.   A tiny pearl in the center finishes off the flower and the card.

So, now it's your turn to give these beautiful colors a try and join the challenge with us!  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.
