ColourQ #192 and Congrats!




I needed a few engagement cards,  for my son 
Richard and his now fiancee Nicola!

My inspiration came from the Papertrey Ink Design team.


I have no idea what colors they will use but thought this weeks colors  would be perfect for a guy card!
I just added the other one to show you what I made for Nicola!


When I got engaged I never even heard of a conflict free diamond ! 
Something they both wanted. Don't get me wrong , Nicola is very simple and would be happy with anything, but it was important to them to have that.


Nicola & Richard


Hi! Sorry I don't have much time today to go into detail , but we are thrilled!  I was able to work the colors in on the guy card.( the pocket has the island indigo hard to see that it is different from the vest) Paper: Papertrey Ink , and Stampin Up .

 Thank you so much for taking time to stop by.
