This week at The Pink Elephant our theme is Spring and we are featuring one of my very favourite stamp companies C.C. Designs at All That Scraps. Each month brings a new collection of stamps in both digi and rubber format which to me is just fantastic as you can choose which you like best. The digi stamp I was given to use is Bride Emma from the Sugarplum Spring Kids set and isn't she just so gorgeous?
I must admit I went all round the houses and back again when making this card and did a lot of playing with different effects on her dress - stamped with Versamark and brushed with Perfect Pearls glitter white looked stunning.
In the end I went for a plain look with just a touch of clear Sakura Stardust, because I wanted to use this fabby spring floral paper by Kanban.
Then of course one thing led to another and the pattern on the paper made me think of little girls being bridesmaids in super pretty dresses so I decided to make a thank you card for a bride to send her bridesmaid. I don't know anyone who is getting married - Laura has just split up with her long term boyfriend so there is no chance of the card being used by her, but I so enjoyed making it so who cares!

She is an adorable bride! This is so pretty. I love the touches of silver. It took my daughter until her 30s to get married, but she found the right one, so just hang in there!
