and, well, I got a bit obsessed.
I tend to lean toward simplicity when creating. So, this one is the one I am linking for the challenge. This is a wedding card for a very special couple
who are in their late 20's.
I was going for fresh and fun like the colors in the challenge.
I appreciate all comments and suggestions.
A note to Kristina -- you really are amazing and finding your videos has spurred my creative side that I don't exercise very much at my "normal job". So simply, thanks and congrats on such a successful blog.

I love the swirls on this. But then, I'm a sucker for swirls. ^_^

Beautiful card! Love the stamp!
RYC: I did my card digitally in Photoshop, by first selecting a simple font and adjusting the leading, etc. Then I took digital brushes (found online for free) and added them behind some of the letters, then I adjusted each letter that had a swirl to correspond with the color. (I also did an outline so it would pop off the page a little better.) Then I added the swirls in each corner. The rhinestones and paper lining are the only traditional elements.
And, the printer I have is an Epson Sylus Photo 1400 (wide format) printer. I really do like it, though sometimes it can be an ink hog. But the quality is amazing -- especially with the right paper! ^_^
