Country Shower

Photo Details

Poster: mamaxsix

One of the gals at the shop where I have my card rack asked me to make invitations for a bridal shower she is planning. She wanted it to have a country feel and incorporate Kraft paper and sunflowers. I used today's sketch flipped. I pulled out my very first stamp set to stamp my sentiment. I accented the long piece with gingham dp hearts a cheater's bow and two sunflowers. I added the red panel behind and popped this whole piece over a single sheet of Espresso cardstock.

...sure it’s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock
