For the New Mr. & Mrs.


It is Monday and that means it is time for the weekly BBTB2 challenge to post.  This week's challenge is very special in that it is being sponsored by our own Regina Easter and her blog, The Cutting Cafe.  We were allowed to choose one of Regina's amazing sets to feature in our projects.  We all used the locked hearts cuts from the Wedding cartridge along with our Cutting Cafe set.  I chose Regina's Congratulations On Your Wedding Cirlce Set and created a Wedding card.


I chose black, pink and white as my color pallet.  I cut the heart shadows in a black and white polka dot pattern from the Heidi Swapp's Runway paper set (currently on sale at Custom Crops).  The distressed pink stripe is also from the Heidi Swapp set.  The detailed heart cut was done in smooth white cardstock. 


I used Martha Stewart's heart border punch to finish the bottom edge of the card.  I backed the card front in a distress pink "solid" from the Heidi Swapp to better display the border punch pattern.


I used my oval nesties to cut out and emboss the "For the New Mr. & Mrs." tag.  I backed the tag with a scalloped oval nestie cut in solid pink.  I embellished the card with Prima flowers, ribbon, and a button.  The finishing touch was the wedding heart pin added to the flowers.
