I made this card for my friend at work who is getting married this week in Spain. Good Luck Anna and Jesper, thinking of you.
I used an A5 square piece of craft coloured Stampin Up cardstock as my card blank. I then double mounted the front with Whisper White and then some beautiful patterned paper from the Spiced Cider patterned paper pack which is on special offer at the moment. If you buy 3 packs of the 12x12 patterned paper you can choose a pack of patterned paper free of charge. I used some patterned paper I had in my ribbon jar and then stamped Anna and Jesper's initials using the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet in Basic Gray Ink. I love this font and the font size is perfect for scrapbooking and a great way to make your own titles etc. I used the '&' from the Mr and Mrs stamp set which is truly beautiful and stamped it using a Stampin Up Ink Pad in Sahara Sand. I then adhered this using the Stampin dimensionals. It was finished off with a jewel in the dot of the 'j' and also with the stick pin from the pretties kit with some beads. I really hope they liked the card.

Such a stylish card Michelle.
I especially love it as mine and my husband's initials are 'A & J'.
Having seen how beautiful initials can be I might do an initials card for our 5th Wedding Anniversary in September, so a big thank you for the inspiration.
Also thanks for leaving the first comment on my blog - I really appreciate the sentiment.
