Day 4. Wedding Response Card

Happy Sunday to you my friends! It’s me and I am back!

Today I wanted to share what I like to do when I get a wedding invitation. Coloring the response card is sooo fun and such a happy surprise for the recipient.

I stamped this beautiful bouquet on the response card with SSS barely beige ink (copic friendly). The sentiment from the stamp set I used smoke ink.

I used copic markers to color the “Floral Bliss” and added some highlights with Chameleon pencils .

Take note: A sneaky thing I love to do is .. check the back of the response card … sometimes there is a number on it. If I find one I erase it and I write something like, “Ha ha guess who this is” ! Usually they figure it out because no one else returns the card all colored up.

Of course white accents were the final touches. Have a great day and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

P.S. If you are new to the challenge …. The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes.

    What a great way to respond and sure this brings a big smile during those stressful times with wedding planning. I love the no line and I need to try this more. I’ve only done a couple of times and I do love the look. Again beautiful colors an your added details.

  48. Lee says

    September 5, 2017 at 10:02 pm

    Fabulous, the idea and the illustration. What a really wonderful way to accept and certainly something they will keep and cherish. You are somethin’ else, lady!

  49. Lindsey M-P says

    My snarky side loves that you erase the reply number! 😀 And what a beautiful way to thank the bride and groom for the invite.

  50. Deborah Moss says

    September 6, 2017 at 12:04 am

    Your thoughtfulness by coloring upon a wedding reply card is ingenious and one that the bride will treasure and keep among her precious memories of her special day. I love this idea and will use it (and give you credit for the idea or course) moving forward. 🙂

  51. TracyM #6773 says

    September 7, 2017 at 8:39 am

    DELIGHTFUL!
    … I confess, I’m secretly expecting an announcement at a special birthday gathering this weekend, so I will definitely keep this beautiful idea in mind 🙂

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      September 14, 2017 at 4:42 pm

      Yippee! If you’re on Instagram and post a photo please tag me! I would love to see what you create!!!

  54. Debs says

    September 9, 2017 at 9:59 am

    I love this idea. I also use the invitation to make the wedding card. Sometimes it’s just strips of color or I cut the main focal image, embellish and stamp.

  55. Mary-Anne V says

    September 9, 2017 at 11:42 am

    Great little surprise

    So far so good Kathy, I am playing catch up on your challenge since I had my total left knee replacement done on the 14th of August. Still a lot of pain but getting to color more since I can’t really do much else. lol
