Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. I hope you are having a fabulous long weekend.
I haven't done a wedding card before…. but as it's our anniversary coming up… and the fact that I got the Bride Speciality Paper this week…. and… I loved the Stamping411 design so much… I decided now was the ideal time.
As a reminder – here's the challenge sketch and a link to the card that I was inspired to make yesterday using the same sketch.
I used the Heard from the Heart set and used both patterns from the Bride Speciality Paper. I also used my Perfect Details texturz plate to emboss the background. I thought the mixture of greys with this paper worked very well for a wedding card.
It has the clean simple lines that I love and focuses on the sentiment. It's not often that we get the chance to make the sentiment the central focal point of a card.
Jaydee tip: The texturz plate works very well with this paper – as the curlicues echo the detail on the pattern of the paper.
The lines of the ribbon echo the lines of the matting and also the lines of the backing strip.
I added the pearls for a little feminine touch. So it turned out to be a card that I felt was the perfect blend of masculine and feminine.
