A doubly-lovely post for you today! We're wrapping up our June Releases with a great set for those lovely occasions of love, marriage, showers....all kinds of events you might want to celebrate....and I'll also show you a new Invite PDF Download now available from Flourishes for $2. It's blank for you to fill in and embellish for all the special times you want to include others in....baby shower, book club invite, birthday party, wedding shower....anything your heart desires!
I had a really fun time doing something very different with the Blossoms Collection sets put together with Happily Ever After. Remember the movie "The Princess Bride"? Remember the chaplain preaching "wuv...twue wuv"....
The letters are from the Letters in Blossom set....and then I added the "True Love" sentiment from the Happily Ever After on the main image, coloring up the letters in black and adding color with Copics. Then on the background layer, I took a cue from Ally Cope and stamped the Summer Blossoms images on white Flourishes Cardstock and then colored all the background in black. I love how it turned out.
This is how it looked before assembling. As you can see I left a little bit in the center uncolored because I knew the main image would cover it. Isn't that dramatic looking? It does take time, but boy is it worth it!
I used this month's SFYTT from Jen Del Muro. And embossed the Spellbinder's hearts as well as the black horizontal flag too - with Art Nouveau - Fireflies folder.
Now for the PDF Invitation...
How about a little Garden Party at my place? :)
I've combined this lovely invitation with the Sunflower set I love so much. I've stamped and colored the image seperately (with Prismacolors) and then popped it up on the design combining it with the
I've edged the invitation out with Classic Scallop Edgeabilities.

Incredible that you made the background yourself ! Just amazing! Love these new stamp sets!
I love the bright colors you chose and this invitation makes me feel warm and fuzzy! These stamps really ARE great!
Wow! Your custom designer paper is unbelievable! Fabulous "Love" card (Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies!!!) and those embossed hearts are perfect with it. The invitation is so cute! How is it I STILL haven't gotten that sunflower stamp? Every time I see it I love it.

Awesome cards and a wonderful idea
Oooooh! I definitely LOVE the love card! Such vibrand colors. Adorable!
I was wowed by that background paper! Love all your projects!
Christine, your card is absolutely stunning. I love what you did with the background paper. I thought of doing something like this too when I followed Ally's instructions and created a background paper with kraft. Now that I see how it looks, I will definitely have to try it soon. Your sunflower invite is very pretty too. What a great release this month!

You've coordinated some great design papers with these images. These invitations are gorgeous.
Beautiful - love the background piece!!!
Great reference to The Princess Bride on your first card. Your garden party invitation is lovely!
Wow!!! Fabulous background on your card! Ever since I saw Ally Cope do that, I have not been able to get it out of my head!
Breathtakingly gorgeous wedding card! Never would have thought to color in the bg like that & it's just wonderful!
Lovely, the coloring of your love stamp and the die and paper work so perfectly together, and love the invite, I do like my sunflowers and your coloring is terrific!
The black, red and white is so dramatic, but anything you do with that sunflower set will always be my fave! I must get that Prima pad, it's the perfect backdrop!
hahaha guess what?! Our family is "NEAT" too! Gorgeous card!
I would have NEVER thought to color a background black....OMG, I really need to try that sometime....AMAZING looking card, Christine! Love your invitation, too, with that new creative kit....I think I NEED that one. Love the blues and yellows.
Both of these are wonderful Christine. I do like that background, very dramatic indeed with the black.
Wow! The floral background is amazing! Gorgeous work, Christine!
Stunning, Christine! You amaze me!
