Coffee of the Day - Cinnamon Hazelnut
So not only are you getting my first craft project in almost a year, but you are also getting the happy news of another happy engagement in our family! :)
I am so excited to announce that Ryan and Elizabeth are engaged!
This weekend we drove to Indiana for a surprise engagement party that Ryan (our youngest son, for those of you who aren't familiar) and Elizabeth's family planned. Mick (our middle son) and his girlfriend, Lauren were able to join us, too!
Ryan asked David and I to each write Elizabeth a letter. Of course I had to make a very special card to present my letter to her.
The little fairy proposal image is so sweet that I just couldn't resist using it. Papers are from the Prima Indeed digital pack, ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon, mulberry flowers & leaves are by Wild Orchid Flowers, digital tickets and post cards are from Create With TLC, and little butterfly die is by Cheery Lynn.
vintage buttons, crochet trim, and doily are from my stash. lots of distressing was done with inks and a paper distressing tool. Stampdendous Frantage powders in wine were added to the main image. distress stickles in black soot were added to the butterfly. tiny pearls have been added both inside and out to the corners. the interior vintage button was tied with SU! linen thread.
it's a bit hard to see, but on the inside pocket, I have added a flourish that was die cut from some clear packaging that I re-purposed. the die is by Tim Holtz. it's a subtle, but very pretty element that packs a lot of punch irl.
Thank you for hanging in there and waiting on me to get something made! I hope you think it was worth it. ;)
and congrats to the happy couple!!!!
