To love and be loved

Hello!

It's the 4th Tuesday of July--I can't believe it's already the last week in July!--which means it's time for our inspiration challenge a the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog. This is my DT card.





This is the picture that Linda has chosen for the inspiration challenge.

This picture had me thinking of a square card of lots and lots of white, with red trims, a love theme, an image of a couple and a touch of blue somewhere.

This was just the perfect challenge as I needed to make a wedding card for a co-worker of mine who is getting married in September. Woo-hoo...so now at least I have something to give her.


I've made this an easel card, of course. I so love this style of card--such an easy way to put your card on display.






The adorable couple is a Magnolia image called Loving Bridal Couple from the Wedding Collection 2010. This image/stamp is available at Magnolia-licious on-line store HERE.




Because I was trying to keep this card mostly white, I didn't use any designer paper. So...lots of textures and 3-D stuff!!! I made use of my embossing folders--which I tend to ignore...LOL, punches and dies.



I hope you will join us in our inspiration challenge. Please visit the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog to have a look at the fabulous cards of my DT teamates and for more inspirations. Links to their personal blogs are on my sidebar also. There is also the prize of a $25.00 gift certificate from Magnolia-licious on-line store.


As for me, LOL, I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss - Challenge 90 - Punch or Die
Magnolia Down Under - Challeng #106 - Use Paper Tole or 3D on your card/project
Sir Stampalot - July Challenge - Anything Goes
7 Kids College Fun - Challenge #26 - Textures


That's it for now. Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I very much appreciate your visit and your encouraging comments. Enjoy your day!



Materials and tools used:


Tools: Spellbinders Heart Circles and Rose Creations dies, Magnolia Doohickey Swirl die, Nellie Snellen Leaf punch and embosser, Martha Stewart Rose Leaf and Large Lace Scallopped Heart punches, Cuttlebug Heart Blocks and Oriental Weave embossing folders, Sizzix Love Set embossing folder.

Misc. : Recollections and Mark Richards half-pearl stickers, lace from my stash.
