It's been a looooong time since I've made a card, let alone play along with Heart 2 Heart (colouring challenge this week) and Mojo Monday. It felt great to play with my stamps again - and for this card, I used a CTMH set for the 1st time, which makes it also qualify for the NBUS challenge!
I created this wedding card for a family member, whose wedding is a couple of weeks away. I'm pretty excited, as I've never been to a barn wedding before, and I've also been asked to make some barn-themed cookies (I'll try to post some pics-stay tuned)!
I loved colouring the cute birds included in this set (and how appropriate for a barn theme)! I added a rustic feel by using kraft cardstock embossed with woodgrain, some faux stitching, and combined that with the elegant feel of the shimmered grey cs, shimmered vellum, and sequins.
Supplies:
Paper: All Recollections
Ink: CTMH Grey Wool
Stamps: CTMH I Do Occasions. Simple Stitches
Other: Verve Sequins; Martha Stewart glitter; Copics; Cuttlebug; The Paper Studio embossing folder; Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circles

I'm honored that my challenge was one of the reason you came back from being gone for a while to do a post, Tania! Your card is adorable and so sweetly romantic! (I love how your barn wedding cookies turned out, too!) Thank you so much for joining in my NBUS Challenge #5 and for following me!
