I needed a card for my niece's wedding shower and wanted to make it look elegant. Unfortunately, I waited until the last minute to make it, so I didn't have time for something elaborate. That is where my sizeable stash of patterned papers came in handy!! I recently bought this delicious Authentique paper. Unfortunately, between this card and another one I made, I have used more than half of it. I most definitely need to buy another piece! The combination of colors is simply gorgeous. I paired the paper with a stamp that hasn't been inked in a few years from American Art Stamp. It's called "Bouquet" by artist Karen Stolper. Karen's stamps are quick to color and easy to use in creating a gorgeous focal point. A few Copic Ws, YRs, and Es are all that were needed!Hope you will enter a card in the Sister Act Challenge Blog this week. Our sponsor is Wings and Willows.
