Happy Sunday to you my friends! It’s me and I am back!
Today I wanted to share what I like to do when I get a wedding invitation. Coloring the response card is sooo fun and such a happy surprise for the recipient.
I stamped this beautiful bouquet on the response card with SSS barely beige ink (copic friendly). The sentiment from the stamp set I used smoke ink.
I used copic markers to color the “Floral Bliss” and added some highlights with Chameleon pencils .
Take note: A sneaky thing I love to do is .. check the back of the response card … sometimes there is a number on it. If I find one I erase it and I write something like, “Ha ha guess who this is” ! Usually they figure it out because no one else returns the card all colored up.
Of course white accents were the final touches. Have a great day and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy
