On Your Special Day...

This card and posting is for a double sketch challenge! Try Stampin on Tuesday and Retro Rubber Challenge  have teamed up and are sharing the same sketch! To join in, just post on both blogs. Below is the sketch:






I used the new Grapefruit Grove and paired that with white and black.  The stamps are World of Dreams (2014), still one of my favs and the sentiment is from Bontanicals from You (2016). The embossing folder is Vine Street (2013) SU!





Well thanks for stopping by and checking things out. Have a great day !

    Very pretty card, Melissa! I somehow missed the "World of Dreams" stamp set when it was available. It's the perfect one for your card, too! What embossing folder did you use - I really LIKE it!?! Thank you for sharing your beautiful card with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!!! -Donna

      Lol I was debating whether or not I should list the embossing folder. So since you asked I went back and updated my blog:) It's Stampin Up Vine Street.

    Love the awesome embossing as your background for this sweet silhouette image, that Gingham paper is beautiful.
    Thank you for playing at RETRO RUBBER.

    So cool, Melissa! What a great idea to use the rectangle framelit for a "window" option - I need to try that! Thanks so much for playing along with us at TSOT!

    Love your pairing up of old and new things. Great embossing folder and nice that it's retro too! The silhouette is great - it was a great set. I like the way you've left the banners quite loose against the card - it gives them a natural lift. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge, Melissa.

    Oh my, this is stunning. Love the cut-out window and your embossing is SO crisp. Also love the mix of stamp sets you used, I love that 'stretching' of stamps. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber. Claire DT

    Such a pretty card - that's a new set to me too - and as I run an SU facebook group for Stamps Sets I like to know most of them. It stamps really well against the gingham - a great take on our sketch - thanks for joining us at TSOT this week.
