Lawn Fawn August Guest Designer ~ Happy Wedding Cards

I'm back to share a couple wedding cards that are being featured over on the Lawn Fawn blog today!  I love all things cutesy so wedding's can be tough in that department, but Lawn Fawn has managed to capture all the cute wedding details perfectly.

For my first card I created my background using two of the heart images from the stamp set creating a subtle tone-on-tone effect.  When I saw these fun wedding bells, my mind immediately thought of how cute they would be paired with a swag.  I pulled out my Bannerific set to pair with my sentiment, curving it to fit with the curve of the banner.  To complete the soft, sweet look I cut some scallops using the Stitched Scalloped Border dies.


My next card matches the first one, but adds some yellow and gray to the mix.  For my background, I repeated the knotted heart image by inking up just the heart and one side of the trail.  This enabled me to easily line-up and repeat the motif to create a pattern.

I thought those two little yellow birds looked out of place on my card so I colored in another banner from the Bannerific set with yellow Copics to tie everything together.  Unfortunately none of the sentiments I wanted to use from the Happy Wedding set fit into my banner so I borrowed one from the Sophie's Sentiments set instead.


I had so much fun creating these--I hope I've inspired you to get inky today!  :)
