The Bride & The Irish Dancer

Good Afternoon! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Since I didn't post much last week, I have two cards to share with you today...LOL! Both cards use the two newest releases from Storage Units, Ink & More.

My first card uses the SUINK set; GOIN' TO THE CHAPEL and I made it for LSC207. This was the perfect challenge for this image. I wanted to keep the card simple, so the focus would be on the details in her dress. Unfortunately, they did not show up very well in the photo. I colored in the image in with Copic Markers and added Starfire Glitter to her dress. Trust me when I tell you that it is SUPER sparkly IRL.

My second card using the SUINK set; BLARNEY STONE and I made it for LSC208. This card was inspired by my fellow SUINK design team member; Tori. I love the patterned paper, paired with the orange and green in THIS card. I colored the image in with Copic Markers and used my Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Pen to add some sparkle to her crown. I used Pumpkin Pie cardstock, Core'dinations cardstock, and patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Tres Jolie Collection. The Pumpkin Pie cardstock was punched with my Fiskar's Threading Water Punch and the ribbon is May Arts.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope everyone has a GREAT day!
