SCS Inspiration Challenge #205
For the last couple of weeks I’ve needed to make a wedding card. In the past, I have always used the invitation to help with the direction of the card. But with this particular invitation, I was having trouble figuring out a starting point.
In looking through the Jonathan Adler website (yesterday’s Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoaststampers), I found these cute little fish salt and pepper shakers. And the fish scale pattern on the box looked like scallops. It finally came together!
This darling couple is one of Flourishes images from their “Wedding Party” set. They have the sweetest faces!
The image was colored with Copics. A Stardust Glitter Pen was used on the bride’s veil.
I love the challenges over on Splitcoaststampers!
Happy Crafting!

Birdhouses from Kittie and a Shining Star
Recently while reorganizing my stamp room I came across a darling little stamp set that Kittie Caracciolo (Kittie747) sent me some time ago. I realized that I had never used it and knew that that had to be remedied immediately!
This fun Martha Stewart Picket Fence Edger Punch seemed a perfect place to start. After weaving the fence with some narrow stitched grosgrain ribbon, I scored two lines across the bottom and added a strip of dimensional tape before folding it over. This gave a platform for adhesive to adhere it to the card while also popping it up!
The birdhouses were colored with Copics. Two of them were also popped up on different thicknesses of dimensionals.
I love these precious little images. Thank you so much Kittie for being so sweet and sending them to me!! I can’t believe it has taken me this long to play with them.

Happy Crafting!
