I know you will empathize with me when I tell you what I went through to make this (as it turned out), very simple and elegant wedding card. I originally saw this on Pinterest. Of course I saw all kinds of other ideas and tutorials on wedding cards. My first idea was to make a gift card holder/easel card. But life got in the way and it ended up a rush job, so out went the more complicated, and in came the easy peasy one. Here is the card:
and here is the inside:
Here is the recipe:
Stamp sets: Suite Sayings and Flourishing Phrases
Ink: Marina Mist
Paper: Thick Whisper White - 4-1/4 x 11, score at 5-1/2
Soft Sky - 4 x 5-1/4, (cut 2); scrap for scallop oval for sentiment
Shimmer White (front of card) - 3 7/8 x 5-1/8
Shimmer white scrap for sentiment
Whisper White - 3-3/4" x 5 for inside
Accessories: Pearls, Wink of Stella, clear; Dimensionals, Bloomin' Heart Thinlits
I cut the heart out of the shimmer paper and then repositioned it over the soft sky cardstock and put the heart back in the space. Of course I used my precision plate and die brush to make my life easier!
I then cut out two large flower and three small flowers with the thinlits and adhered them to the heart where they fit. I added lots of pearls and clear wink of stella on the flowers. I used the layering oval framelits to frame the sentiment and popped that on with dimensionals.
Pretty easy, but I used a lot of "stuff". It happens when you make cards! And your stamping space starts to get smaller and smaller because you have so much "stuff" around! Anyway, I thought the card turned out pretty good. I think the bride will appreciate it!
That's it for today! I'll be posting my September Class projects here in the next day or so (I hope).
Have a wonderful day!
