Hi everyone Sylvia here with my weekly design team makes, a wedding theme using pretty shades of tissue paper to colour my card. Here is a save the date and invitation using 250 gsm ivory long grain cardstock, raspberry pink cardstock and 145 gsm cream paper.

I used the tissue paper technique to apply the hearts to my card and overstamped with text in grey ink. So simple, place your tissue where you want the shape and wet, allow to dry and remove the tissue. The ivory long grain card is a soft textured card ideal for this technique as it takes the colour from the tissue paper superbly.

The save the day matchbook card was lined with cream paper and overstamped with the text stamp, a calendar was mounted onto raspberry pink card and added to the inside with the date highlighted in pink. The cream paper is a lovely weight, ideal for printing your wedding card inserts and envelope making.

Marerials used:

• Papermilldirect ivory long grain, rapberry pink cardstock and cream paper
• tissue paper and heart dies
• PaperArtsy minis text stamp 62
• wedding words clear stamps - had them for years, not sure of make
• grey ink pad
• sticky back pearls

If you are thinking of making some wedding stationery this year try this technique, tissue gives some lovely shades of colour.

Sylv xx
