Wedding season is approaching, and I’m going to be prepared by building up my arsenal of cards. This card was not working and I almost abandoned it, but to my surprise I got it to work. It’s a very elegant card with lots of shimmer and texture and shine–three of my favorite things!
The card base is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Shimmery White card stock, layered with a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Parisian Breeze DSP (which is textured and thicker weight than regular DSP). On top of the polka dot layer is the brown damask print (again from Parisian Breeze) which I cut using the Top Note die and my CB.
Across the front, I used a strip of Textured Chocolate Chip card stock, layered with a piece of satin Baja Breeze Ribbon (from the Ribbon Originals-Valet). To top it off, I used my newest purchase–the Scallop Oval Punch–to punch the Baja Breeze Scallop. In the center, I stamped “Best Wishes” from Oval All, the coordinating stamp set, on Shimmery White card stock in Chocolate Chip craft ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. That was punched out with the Large Oval Punch and layered onto the scallop oval. Then, I adhered it to the ribbon strip with dimensionals.
Finally, the cake from For the Bride was stamped in Chocolate Chip craft ink onto Shimmery White card stock and clear embossed, trimmed out with paper snips, and adhered to the card using dimensionals.
