Hello all! I've got two cards to share today, both completely different. The first is a card I delivered to the bridal shop, A Beautiful Touch. It is intended as a bridal shower card, but certainly it could be given to a young lady for her birthday, as well.
I hope you're not tired of seeing the dress image from Stampin' Up!'s Blooming with Happiness. It really lends itself well to the bridal cards, and is very sweet; fun to color, too. :-)
One more card to share before I go. My childhood friend's daughter graduated high school in May of this year. I received an announcement in the mail, and wanted to send a special keepsake card for the graduate.
Using the announcement, I die-cut the circular panel for the front of the card, matted it with navy, and layered it on an embossed red panel.
I stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts on the inside panel, which reads: YOU DID IT! Congratulations." On the inside left, I die-cut a phrase which was in the announcement. It reads: "The journey of a thousand miles, solely, begins with a single step."
Thanks for taking a peek at my cards today!

Both are lovely cards, Colleen and I'm sure the graduate adored her personalized card.
