Here's another super-easy wedding card - in soft spring colors. The Poppyfinch 6x6 Collection is a rainbow of pretty pastels - teals, lavenders, grays and greens. The stamped Spring Blossoms Collage, attached with foam dots, adds dimension and the tiny flowers are a nice contrast to the larger blossoms in the background. Petal Jewel Stickers highlight the flowers with a touch of sparkle.
We used several colors of the Jewel and Pearl Stickers in classes at Impress over the weekend. One of the tips I shared with the class sounds a little silly - but it'll save you a lot of time if your worktop tends to attract piles of paper and other supplies. Rather than placing the sticker sheets back into the polybags after removing a few stickers for a project - staple one end of the clear backing sheet to a slightly larger strip of white cardstock and write the color on the other end of the strip. This makes the strip more visible - it's less likely to get lost - and keeps the clear backing sheet from clinging to something and going astray. You can then slip everything back into the polybag and store them in a little pail or jar.
When you want to see how Jewel or Pearl Stickers would look, or to check for color matches - rather than peeling them off and holding them over a section of your project, hold the cardstock strip aside and place the stickers (still on the backing) over your project to how it looks. This keeps the stickers from accidentally setting themselves down (quite permanently!) in a spot where you may not want them to be.
