Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Wedding!!!
I too am a June bride as my hubby and I celebrate our 24th Anniversary this month too!!! WHOOOHOO!!! So, I took my inspiration from our wedding with a white gown, some lace, wild flowers, and being outdoors. And I wanted to show you how a few other Unity stamps can be for weddings too!
My first card represents everlasting love to the happy couple. Did you know swans mate for life? They do. For this card I mixed two stamp sets together to create this beautiful scene. I also incorporated some of my wedding colors and added our initials to one of the trees. Can you spot them? This set is great for Weddings, Anniversary, Valentines, Birthday, friendship, and many occasions!

My second card is for the bride. I was thinking for her bridal shower. I kept it simple with a white wash of ink on her dress and another stamp for wedding lace. They go beautifully together for many other occasions too!
I started with an A2 card base with kraft cardstock. Inked up the Lace A2 background stamp with clear ink, sprinkled with clear embossing powder, and heat set. On another piece of kraft cardstock I stamped the dresses in CP Midnight black ink, because it's good with all coloring mediums. And I used a touch of white pigment ink watered down and brushed onto the front dress to create a white wedding dress for the bride. Next I stamped a border around the dresses with the same clear ink, sprinkled clear embossing powder, and heat set. The image was too large to fit on the card with the sentiment, so I trimmed off the scallops and still left a stitched border and adhered dresses to card base. Then I stamped a sentiment from the swan stamp set above, with clear ink, white embossing powder, onto kraft cardstock, and heat set. Using a die cutting machine I cut out a stitched border around the sentiment. Added black cardstock behind it, adhered the two together, and adhered to card base. Added adhesive pearls to the dress and sentiment to complete this beauty.
My final card is for the happy couple and representing a beautiful colorful wedding cake with that background stamp again for some wedding lace.

Voila! You too can make wedding cards! Unity Stamps has only a few true wedding stamp sets, but as you can see here and throughout our hop, there are so many sets that can certainly be used for a wedding or bridal shower too! I hope I've inspired you to mix and match your stamps in new and creative ways. The possibilities are endless!
Happy 24th Anniversary, honey!!!
