Stampin' Up! Specialty Papers


I'm trying to get a post in between thunder claps!

This card looked different in my head, but that's not unusual. The SU Embrace Life set (page 104) was used to emboss images on Shimmery White card stock (page 159) and the Real Red card base. The BEAUTIFUL Groom Specialty Paper on page 158 was used as an accent. If you haven't looked at the Bride, Groom and Bridesmaid Specialty papers, check them out! They are wonderful. Lastly, Crushed Curry marker and 1/2 inch Polka Dot Grosgrain ribbon were used on the flower panel. The ribbon has 2 sides (plain and polka dotted), so that you can determine which side you want to show by twisting as you tie your bow. Initially, I was not "in love" with the new SU in-colors, but these saturated colors work SO WELL with other strong colors.
