Serendipity Stamps April Blog Hop #1!!

Happy April Everyone!


Hope everyone is doing well and had a wonderful Easter holiday with their family and friends...and I hope maybe you got a little time away to play with your art supplies!!

I made something a little different for today’s card, but first let me remind you that today is the first day of Serendipity Stamp’s first BLOG HOP for the month of April!

Serendipity Stamps showcases a new set of stamps every two weeks. Just comment of the Design Team’s blogs listed below to enter to win a $20 gift certificate for Serendipity...the more blogs you comment on, the likelier you are to win!

Here's a list of all the designers participating in the blog hop today...

I've been playing with some of the BRAND NEW items over at Serendipity Stamps and I'm loving them! This Wedded Bliss set is definitely one of my favorites from the new collections. It's a great set, especially with all the Spring weddings happening right now, but I decided to use it to make an anniversary card for my husband! We celebrate 25 happy years together next month (TWENTY-FIVE!) and I really wanted to make him something special. You guys get the sneak peek, but my husband won't see it until our anniversary!

The set has lots of great sentiments, but the "I Still Do" sentiment is just so perfect for anniversaries! I love the little diamond ring next to it!

I stamped the bride and groom image onto Copic X-Press It paper using MFT's Extreme Black Ink and colored it with my Copic markers (I made sure to color their hair to match my husband's and my hair!).  I then cut the image out using some oval frames and applied it to a square card front I made using some red and black glitter paper and some black and white striped patterned paper. 


I then added some black paper roses and some pearly white and black enamel dots to finish the look. 

For the inside of my card, I stamped the "Forever (and always)" sentiment into white cardstock and framed it using more of the red and black glitter paper.



The font of this is just so pretty!!

As always, a big THANK YOU to you guys for stopping to visit with me today! Have a wonderful week and good luck on the blog hop!!

  3. OMG Beth! What a stunning card! It is so elegant with the black roses and the pearls. And you attention to detail with your coloring is amazing - the lighter grey on his coat lapels make it look like satin...And you are such an inspiration - I can't remember the last time I made a card for my husband - I'd better shape up!
