Weddings Weddings Weddings!

My hubs's sister is getting married, so I made her and her fiance this wedding card. I decided to use her wedding colors to make this card, which is black, white, silver, and ice blue accents. I actually managed to use all 4 colors, but you can't tell about the ice blue b/c Brilliance Pearlescent Ice Blue ink stamps out silvery looking.


I was having the hardest time coming up with a card to make and was sketching for a few days, trying and scrapping ideas, when I finally landed on this. However...it called for a leafy branch-like accent and I simply did not have such a stamp set (e.g. Turning a New Leaf) nor did I have time to swing by and borrow it from Jamie. What's a girl to do? Easy - go shopping! haha...


So I ended up buying this Sizzlit branch die. I totally love it and it's much easier than cutting out TANL branches, no matter how groovy it looks on the finished product.





I stamped PTI Diamond background images on the bottom 3 "ruffles" of paper...the ruffles which were accomplished by using the EK Success scalloped border punch on 3 sheets of paper. I blinged up the ruffles with Memory Box sticker jewels, and stamped a simple sentiment.


Stamps: PTI Diamond backgrounds, Rubber Soul sentiment
Paper: Stardream Chiara silver, black, and opal
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Pearlescent Ice Blue
Accessories: EK Success Border punch, Memory Box crystal stickers, Sizzlit die, random ribbon
