Stamp all images and phrases with Denim ink. The flower trails at the tops
and sides of the cards are one section of a stamp only, not the entire stamp.
Choose ecru, ivory, or white card stock for the main images. Choose navy,
gray speckle, purple, pale blue or pink stock for the borders, message
blocks, and backgrounds.
-
Add soft blue to the backgrounds using a sponge and a light application of
Denim ink (darker on Thank You card).
-
Color images with pencils and add details with gel pens. Note that the
figures on the Congratulations card have a pale blue/purple skin tone (it's
not a problem with your computer screen, it's intended to give a vintage
effect).
-
Refer to photo for layering ideas.
Thank You Card -- The star-shaped holes on the Thank You card allow the navy
card stock to show through. Save the small punched pieces, move or turn them
over for white and lighter blue stars.
Place Card -- Crescent moon is cut in half. Three figures peek up from the
bottom front of the folded card, the remaining half extends from a slit cut
in the top (along the fold).
-
Options --
- Stamp a matching flower trail on the envelope
- Use the computer to generate names for the place cards instead of hand-done
calligraphy
- Stamp images in deep wine, bright raspberry, or another color for a totally
different look.
- The sheets of stamps have many other images and messages to use in addition
to or instead of the ones shown.
