Die Cutting | Imagine Blog

Shabby chic wedding decor is very hot right now! Today I used kraft banner pendants with doilies and gorgeous flowers to create a beautiful wedding banner. My favorite part is the delicate rosebuds created with Creative Medium in Iridescent Purple. Against the kraft paper, it pops just enough to create a wonderful background. It has a gorgeous finish that is delicate enough for wedding decor, yet bold enough to catch your attention. This banner would be a lovely decoration on the front of the wedding party table, near the gift table, or where ever a bride might find it is needed!

We are inspired by all the bright and vivid colors in the new VersaFine Clair collection. To kick off Spring the right way, we choose Ultraviolet for our color of the month for March. Ultraviolet is a wonderful sharp purple that works well with light cream colors or a dark night sky colors. We see the use of Ultraviolet in flowers, fabrics, princess dresses, unicorn colors, makeup, the galaxy night sky, and glowing jewels.

Another challenge that we gave to our Artist in Residence for March is Weddings! We love all the cool things that people are doing DIY decor for their weddings and we wanted to add to the inspiration by adding a host of tutorials for the couple’s special day.
