A 5 1/2 inch square card that was custom created for a jewish couple. A lot of metallic paper in the colors of aquatic and steele blue hues. A scallop border punch(XL) and a scrap of dark grey ribbon. black mini jewels for a more elegant touch.
It is one of my favorite techniques, and it is called bleaching. These cards are created with SU Paper that has now been retired since "Color Renovation". The stamp set is a classic standard for me it is called "Buggies and Booties". Some dry embossing and border punches to create the "Vintage Look".
Now this is my prize piece for this party. I took a design request from the party planner and stepped it up a notch. We wanted a Happy Birthday banner that reflected and maintained the theme of everything. One from the Party Store would not due for me. You all know that right? Days of design reserach on the Stampin Up Pennant Banner. I used the Digital Paper once more with the Damask Design, Scalloped Circle die cutes, and pearls from the jewelry department in the craft store. The pearls are hard to see here. But they are there. This banner is one of my proudest pieces.
This is a close up of the Purse. Small Fushia Spray roses, Berries, and Petite fern.
It is one of my most inspiring projects. I spent hours writing down the items that would create an invitation that would reflect the woman we as a family were celebrating. When I kept repeating the same items like purses, shoes and pearls I knew what to do. Following the hot trend of Pink and Damask the design was complete. The floral container was a Purse with handles. The person was on the Birthday Girl's table, and the rest of the tables had shoes.
