What's white and all over paula's deck? Snow...fresh, powdery, fluffy and oh, so clean! {{ Thank goodness it is fluffy because I shoveled three time yesterday..no more for me today}}
Let's get on to what ya'll came to see... my newest Elzybells sneak peek! Speaking of white...
Look who's getting married!! My teddy bear...awwww. The really sad thing is that I don't know a soul getting married, and neither does my mom. {{ My mom is soon to be the keeper of all theses Elzybell cards...she called dibs first! lol}} But the next time someone asks for a wedding card...I have the perfect stamp...how did Elizabeth know I was not thrilled with they very small assortment I have?
I still had some of that awesome silver paper, found at Michael's for a fraction of what you pay in a scrapbook store, so I pulled it out for this card. The patterned paper is some pieces left from 'Reminisce", I think... I layered the clear-ish buttons to resemble a wedding cake. Some stitching and glitter and I am sooo happy with this card. I can't get enough of the bears! lol
I wanna send a little shout out to Gabriella D. who comments on my blog...I really don't use any straight edge when I sew! lol I just sew very, very slow. But if take a really close look it ain't perfect sister, I only wish! ;)
oh wow how cute is that love love love it

Hey Paula, these cards are just too gorgeous. And yes definitely went aaawwwwww. I think you and your friend Linda should make a little colouring tutorial for us simple fold ;-) Just the basics, how to do shading etc. You two are so good, I love visiting your blogs.

I have very few wedding stamps too, so this one looks like a must have!!
Beautiful card, as always! Your colouring is fantastic, and the stitching looks great!
I agree with Meahni, some colouring tutorials would be great! I've actually been wondering, what paper do you use to stamp and colour on?

All of your latest sneak peeks are darling...love these two little wedding bears! BTW, I think I know the exact silver paper you are talking about at M's...but I haven't been able to find it here anymore.

Awww another stunner Paula! I agree - the colouring is amazing!!! x

Another great sample as usual, you're going to tempt me in to buying some Elzybelles now. What do you use for the "smudging" around your images? Is it from the chalks? I tried coloring around the image w/ my prismacolors & baby oil and it doesn't turn out like yours!

Do you notice as we get older we know less and less people getting married? Can I call dibs on the next card? Tell you mom to play nice and share!! Love it love it!!
