RemARKable Brides and Babies

Welcome to the June edition of the RemARKable 25th Anniversary “Best of” Blog Tour!  I hope you’ve enjoyed the first half of this series – I know that we, your RemARKable team, have enjoyed bringing it to you.

This first image just shouted “EMBOSS ME” when I saw this set for the first time:

This is a simple favor idea, but I cut the top using the Window Frames framelit – just put a narrow strip into the framelit and stop halfway through and back it out.  I love how this image looks in our gorgeous pewter embossing powder.

The smallest Rhinestone jewels add the perfect sparkle to complement the embossing powder.

A year later and we’re celebrating an anniversary!! (oh my, does the time fly!!)  Two little love-birds fit perfectly on the front of a gift enclosure for our favorite couple.  The birdies are colored with a blender pen and the soft tones of Pirouette Pink, Pool Party and Pear Pizazz.  I folded the Pirouette Pink 3/8″ taffeta ribbon in half and creased it with my fingernail to narrow it down.  (I suppose I could have ironed it…NOT!!)

We’re not going to set a timetable for our lovebirds, but like the rhyme…First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage!!

Have you had the chance to play with the new In Color stretchy ribbon?  It’s a whole new world in ribbon!!  The stretch gives it an affinity to curves, and once there was a bit of sticky strip on the back of the oval it was simple to attach the ribbon to create a frilly border.

I’m a big fan of Crisp Canteloupe!

Now it’s off to the Trinity Design Studio to see what Robin has created for you!

If you get lost or just prefer to skip around, here’s the whole tour:
