HSS467 Shabby Chic Wedding Congrats

Happy Tuesday, all! My niece recently surprised everyone and got married! They'd been engaged for a long time and just decided to get married without any big fuss! (Smart couple!)  Naturally, I had to make them a congratulations card, and the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch was perfect for what I had in mind.  Here's the sketch:

I haven't done a shabby-chic card for a long time and I really wanted to use some of the pretty vintage papers I had in my stash.  I pulled out a retired SU stamp set called Nature's Prints and went to work:

My card base is Basic Beige, with Very Vanilla accents, and the papers are from PhotoPlay and Kaiser Craft.  (I admit, these are hard colors to photograph!)  I stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts on the scripty piece, then added a sprig from the Nature's Prints, stamped in Basic Beige, as well as some seam binding that I dyed with BB ink, crumpled up and heat set in my microwave!

A sentiment from the same SU set was stamped on the inside, and I also overstamped the same sprig on top of the sentiment, using Versmark ink:

And here's a photo of the couple---they look like they could be fashion models, don't they? We wish them lots of blessings!

Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
