A Wedding Card

Hi!

Another one of my nieces got married a couple of weeks ago so the card I have for you today is the card I gave her and her new husband on their happy day.

It was also a card I'd made as a sample for a recent "Hatches, Matches and Dispatches" class. We stamped the Flowering Flourishes image in Illuminate Ink to give a lovely, subtle shimmer to the top of the card.  The embossing along the bottom adds an elegant touch.

I really love white on white wedding cards, and the touch of silver in the sentiment and card base adds a little touch of class.

I kept the inside fairly simple as I usually like to write a fair bit on wedding cards.

Stamps: Flowering Flourishes, Sweet Essentials
Ink: Illuminate Glimmer Watermark, Platinum Shimmer Paint (retired)
Cardstock: Whisper White, Brushed Silver
Other: Big Shot, Delicate Designs Embossing Folder, Large Scallop Edgelit, Organza Ribbon

Bye for now,

Tina

Festive Friday #46

Hi!

Yay! It's Friday again!  This week it's my week for Festive Friday Challenges.

This week Nicole has given us a sketch to play with. It's a fantastic sketch that has plenty of scope for interpretation.

I certainly took a few liberties with the interpretation!

As you can see, I flipped it on it's side and swapped the waves for scallops - my new Delicate Designs Embossing Folder and coordinating Large Scallop Edgelit had just arrived and I wanted to play with them! I coloured parts of the raised design with my Silver Stampin' Dazzle Marker.

If you look closely you can see that the Whisper White panel is stamped with the small snowflake from Snow Swirled. I stamped it with my Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin' Pad. I mustn't've cleaned my stamp properly last time I used it because the images stamped a little pink (I think I last used Cherry Cobbler with the stamp) and now my inkpad it stained a little.  Oh well! The effect looks great on this card in real life though!

I also stamped the snowflake on the inside at the top and bottom - it's so hard to photograph nicely!

I hope you can play along this week at Festive Friday!

Also, please come back tomorrow (Saturday) for a blog hop showcasing products from the current Holiday Catalogue.

Bye for now,
