When I started to design this card, I was hoping for some patterned paper to fit this theme, but when I found nothing suitable I decided to grab a stencil and blend some ink and make my own background paper. I tend to always gravitate toward the same colors... so this time I opted for a different color scheme. I don’t find the pink hues too feminine, as I could have simply matched the colors found from the wedding invitation. The joy of handmade cards... you can make your card customized for the occasion.
Hop along with the other Friends of Unity and see their creations...Pssst! There is a giveaway too!
