Wedding In White

I needed a card for my nephews wedding coming up at the end of the month. I decided to do todays Splitcoast Sketch Challenge. (SC271)

I intended to do a mostly white card with just a touch of black...But ended up needing a touch of red for Umpf.

I used SU Elegant Bouquet to emboss the top panel and flipped it upside down because I wanted the floral in the lower right corner. I used my new Glaze Pen to highlight the embossing. I really wanted a "knot" for symbolism on the card but didn't want to over power the embossing on the card, so I tried several ribbons and settled on this red Ofray picot one I picked up at Walmart, probably for the latest wedding. The ribbon still covered more than I liked so I used the double circle punch to put 5 sets of holes along the bottom edge for the ribbon to be threaded through the card. After attaching the 6 Mark Richard gemstones to the flowers I realized there was an even number so I embossed one more flower from the same folder and cut it out to make it an odd number. I used the sentiments from SU:Taggers Dozen and Fairytale Wedding, stamped in Jet Black StazOn. I used SU: Real Red to mat and Embassy:Black(walmart) to mat the other peices. I embossed the middle layer with Vicotria, and the base with Swiss Dots, which required a couple of passes and moving of the folder to get the whole card front dotted.

I hope you like it!

Until later...Happy Stamping!
