Well, tomorrow Marcella Hawley is "tying the knot" to her sweetheart Doug! Both Bloom Brigade and Instant Gardeners members have teamed up to celebrate with a blog hop today to send her wedding wishes with love . . . with words and cards. (Talk about pressure to make a special card for an artist extraordinaire! But I realized that this isn't about art per se but rather celebrating the love Marcy and Doug have for each other.)
I decided to use a favorite flower of Marcy's mom, and I colored it with some new Chameleon Color Tone pencils and did some "extreme" fussy cutting (so glad that it stayed in one piece - yay!). I sponged the background to give it some blush...all brides blush at some point, right? Then I "staged" the branch, carefully stamped "love" with my Stamp-a-ma-jig, and then adhered it all to the card base. I used a number of small clear adhesive pads to add the delicate branch and flowers and adhered it to the card...breathing a sigh of relief--the branch was in tact!
After Irma, this was a good project for me to work on to help me relax. Perhaps you might want to join in with us to wish Marcy and Doug a beautiful wedding day. It's been such a fun journey, and I know it will be lovely and also fun! I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of wonderful photos in the weeks to come!
I've been MIA for a while again and have been trying to take a "breather." Thanks so much for taking a close-up look at my card. Hope you have a beautiful weekend! Hugs!

Note: I found the Chameleon Color Tone Pencils very interesting to use and was impressed by the hardness and ability to keep a very sharp point, and I love how long they keep that point and how the two ends compliment each other.
