Congrats on the Engagement

Well we got some good news this past weekend. My sis-in-law got engaged! Her and her fiance have been together for 6 years, so we know him very well, and we are very excited for them. My girls are also very excited since this means they get to be in another wedding. Well I wanted to make a cute little card for her to congratulate her on the engagement. I decided to use the sketch from my LSS's blog (Buffalo Stamps and Stuff). The just started posting sketch challenges, which I just love sketch challenges...lol. They also have other challenges on Mondays that are more of technique challenges. I don't always get to play along, but I do like to see the ideas and what can be done with them. Well here is my card using the sketch from Friday.
I purchased the daisy PP to use for a gift back in April. I liked it so much I bought 2 sheets of it. I stamped the sentiment from a SU set with green ink to go with the center of the daisies. The bottom squares are images from another SU set. I stamped with pink ink, and colored them in using the aqua painter and the same ink pad. I also colored the center green with the aqua painter. I used my cricut to cut the "congrats" out of the same PP. Well that is it...very simple! Now...I need to start thinking of wedding invite ideas...she wants me to make them! I am sooooo excited. I have a couple ideas, but need to start putting together a few to show her. Any ideas from you guys are greatly appreciated! I am thinking vellum and ribbon and flourishes. Just gotta put it all together now. As I come up with ideas I will probably be sharing with you, and asking for thoughts. Thanks so much!

Very Pretty card Jess. Congrats to the happy couple! My almost niece has had me making all kinds of fun things for her wedding. She has found some great ideas online, especially on Etsy and passed them on to me to see if I can do something similar, so you may want to surf around and see what's out there for inspiration. Be sure to post what you come up with.
