Best Wishes to Kate & John - IHP Blog Hop


 Kate from i {heart} papers got married recently, so the IHP design team wanted to do a little something special for her!  A blog hop dedicated to Kate and her hubby John seemed like a great idea to give them all of our "best wishes" for a happy life together!

Congrats to the happy couple, Kate and John!


Here's the official blog hop order!


I was inspired by the ColourQ Challenge #208 and Sketchbook Saturday #106 to make Kate & John's Best Wishes card!


There's also a Wedding/Anniversary theme challenge over at The Pink Elephant and Paper Smooches Sparks: Anything Goes is up and running, too!


After seeing some photos from Kate and John's wedding, I noticed that the main colors were black and white with a splash of orange...and there was also a lot of beautiful foliage in the background scenery of their photos, so I went with a similar look on their card!

There are lots of IHP products on the card...Paper Smooches Simply Said stamp set and Notebook Basic Wise Dies, Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves Lawn Cuts, Hemptique Black Hemp Cord, Doodlebug Designs Glossy Enamel Dots, and Momento Black Tuxedo Luxe ink.


Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!
