Elegant Wedding or Anniversary Card for Heart2Heart Challenges

I can hardly believe this is my last entry as a Design Team member for Heart2Heart Challenges.  Six months really flew by fast!  I've had such a wonderful time being on the team - so many talented ladies and so many people joining in the fun participating in the challenges.  I have definitely learned a lot during my time and have added oodles of ideas for my own crafting from all the participants and have been stretched artistically by my wonderful team members!  A huge thanks goes out to Mary Vogel who is the team captain and blog owner - thanks for picking me and letting me be part of such a wonderful venture!

Here is my entry for this week's challenge - an elegant card suitable for a wedding or anniversary.

I softened the brighter pinks of our Lucy paper by layering some vellum on top.  I added an Art Philosophy shape underneath along with a sweet sentiment from a retired set.

The roses were embossed in silver on Colonial White and then tinted with Blush using my waterbrush.  A little bit of Stardust Glitz in the centers gave me the effect I wanted.

I adore our Rhinestone Designer Brads for an instant pop of class on any project and color matching our Color Ready Seam Binding to any project is a snap.

I hope you'll join us this week at Heart2Heart Challenges and create an elegant wedding/anniversary card using some CTMH products!  I adore seeing all your creations and want to celebrate my final days as a Design Team member (sniff, sniff) by visiting each of you!

Hugs,

Paige

Whoo-hoo! Its official - I'm on the Heart 2 Heart Challenges Design Team!

Don't you just love it when you have a New Year's Resolution that you can knock off the list in January?

I'm so excited (think Kermit the Frog madly waiving his arms around) to let you know that I'm one of the designers for the Heart 2 Heart Challenge blog for the next 6 months!  You may have noticed the logo I put up the other day on the right side of my blog (tee-hee) but I didn't want to announce until my little bio was put up on the site for the new Design Teams.

If you haven't yet visited the Heart 2 Heart Challenge blog - GO THERE NOW!  Its a great place to find Close to my Heart product inspiration!  All the designers are Close to my Heart consultants but ANYONE can join in the fun and post projects on our linky area under the challenges.  Its a great way to show of what you've been working on and get some new blog traffic!

What's new this time around?  We now have two fabulous 5 person teams of Designers!  So many of the ladies in these groups are peeps I've been following either on their blogs or via posts on the Consultant Bulletin Board and I can tell you without a doubt this is going to be an awesome run of challenges! 

How can you participate if you DON'T have a blog?  Its simple!  You just need to post your photo to a public online area!  Over at Splitcoast Stampers you can set up a FREE online gallery to post your photos.  You can also use free public folders on Photobucket or Flicker.  Once the photo is there you can link that photo using our easy Mr. Linky tool - a simple copy and paste to get your artwork linked up to the Challenge site! 

You can also set up a free blog using Google Blogger.  It is surprisingly easy to do and free, plus people can visit you and leave nice comments about your work!

I hope you all will take the time to check out the H2H Challenge Blog, see how easy it is to link up a picture and join in the fun!  Look for my first Heart 2 Heart Challenge post coming your way on Monday!

Hugs,

Paige
