Jane and Steve Get Married


My sister-in-law Jane got married this past weekend and this is the card I made for her and her new husband, Steve. I used the MOJO98 sketch challenge for my layout and reverted to my new favorite DSP, Nouveau Chic. The colors are so cool, I think I may try using it for some halloween fun. I'm experimenting with my card photos (again) and am trying out a new style a-la Kristina Werner. I love how she uses patterned paper for her backgrounds. It seems to really make the card pop. I also like the wide-screen format of her photos, but I haven't figured out yet if my camera has that feature. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how this looks. I couldn't bear to use my SU! paper for a measley background shot, so the other day, I went to AC Moore and picked up a bunch of Cosmo Cricket and Basic Grey paper (my favorites after SU!). The one in this photo is Cosmo Cricket. The recipe:
Stamps: Wonderful Words, Kind & Caring Thoughts
Paper: Sage Shadow, Basic Black, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White, Nouveau Chic
Ink: Sage Shadow, Apricot Appeal
Accessories: Sage Shadow ribbon, embossing powder

Rewrite!

Nice card. I like the way you folded the cardstock over the ribbon. I was lazy and just added a layer of CS to sandwich the ends between. Great mojo card!
