Anniversary Love!

Your soul mate can only be one of a kind, right?  This card will tell your significant other that, yep you are definitely one of a kind. As I was making this card, I thought that this would be an awesome anniversary card. But I soon realized that you can probably even give this card on your wedding day to your loved one. Of course because of my South Asian background, I chose bright and bold colors like red and gold to accentuate it. 

The Image is from our Lady Beans friend Annie Collins. You can find the image here:

This is a couple image, however I only used the groom on my card. The designer paper is something that I found in my stash, matted with black and then on a Whisper White A2 card base.  Random dots were placed with Nuvo drops for a little dimension to this card. My groom's "skirt" was colored with the same Nuvo drops and a paint brush. Hope you enjoy this card. Make sure you give some love to your "One of A Kind" 

Wedding Card

Hello - Helle here with my last post as Design Team Member of the Coffee Beans Design Team.

I chose to make the lovely Wedding Cake that Anne Ingram designed and that you can find in the Etsy Store and the flowers are designed by Annie Collins.

This time I did a mixture of print and cut and coloring in the image.

The cake, background and the card are all print and cut - papers are from BoBunny's Digi collection "Country Garden" 

I used Promarkers to color in the flowers and used a Glitter Gelly Roll pen for the flower centers.

Finally I found a fun adhesive pearl swirl for the cake to give it that last WOW factor.

Thank you for visiting. Thank you to the Lady Beans/The Coffee Beans for having me on their team. I've really enjoyed my time here and will be following you on the sideline from now on.

Wedding Cake

Hello Coffee Bean Design's fans it's Brandi M, I am back to share a card with you featuring the “Wedding Cake” digital stamp by Coffee Bean Designs.

I printed the “Wedding Cake” digital stamp on to white cardstock, one of the things I love about Digital stamps is you can resize them to fit your project. For this card I printed it a bit smaller to use  on my card. On my second card , which you can find on my blog I printed it larger.

For those of you who don't know I love to color with my Copic makers so that's what I pulled out to add more depth and detail to the cake image. I shaded the cake with my light gray combo and then I draw simple flower on my card, I started by drawing a dot for the center. Copic makers are alcohol based and work great for blending. Next I draw five flicks for the petals of the flowers in my darkest shade then add my medium and light on top still using a flicking motion. I went darkest to lightest then back again until I was happy and then a green vine and white gel pen details to the flower centers.

For the cake topper I dug through my stamp stash until I found the small hearts I colored them pink and fussy cut them out. Remember to make it look like they were trimmed out perfectly run a water base black maker a long the edge to hide the white core of the cardstock.

I often pull from my scrap bin when making cards which is exactly what I did for the pink cardstock background. I cut it down to be slightly smaller than an A2 card base. I also used a scrap of white cardstock to stamp the sentiment on with black ink.

To pull the card together I layered the pink cardstock onto a white A2 card base. Using foam tape I popped up the sentiment strip and then glued down the wedding card using the sentiment to ground the image. I topped the cake with the pink hearts. To add more detail to the card I added wink of stella over the cake and scattered flat back pearls.

I hope you enjoyed this card! If you want to see more you can head over to my blog and see how I turn this image into a Birthday cake.

Thanks

Brandi M.
