SUO149 Marriage Made in Heaven

Hi Friends!   

It’s time for the SUO149 “Wedding Are Here!” Challenge and I decided to create a card using my pieces of my favorite retiring designer series paper, Timeless Elegance.

I love the floral designs of this beautiful designer series paper and decided to incorporate the Splitcoaststampers’ SC593 Sketch Challenge as well as the WT584 “In Stitches” Challenge.

I hope you will have a chance to check out my sister DesignTeam member samples at the SU-Only Challenge site as well as the fantastic Design Team samples and entries at the Splitcoaststampers galleries- fabulousl inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Use an AquaPainter™ with Blushing Bride, Rose Red and Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink to watercolor the roses and the markers for the petite blossoms as well as the background of the lace on the different pieces of Timeless Elegance DSP.

Cut the panels of DSP per the sketch and distress the edges (I used the retired Distressing Tool) and use a straight stitch on a sewing machine to attach the panels to a piece of Basic Black cardstock.

Distress the edges of the Basic Black panel, add the Sahara Sand lace and Basic Black cardstock strip (using a zigzag stitch) and mount the entire panel onto a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock.

Ink the sentiment from Rose Wonder with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock, cut out with the Big Shot™ using the Lots of Tags Framelits™ (also cutting two additional tags the same size from Basic Black cardstock for layering).

Ink the Timeless Textures scroll image with Sahara Sand Classic Ink and stamp over the tag area, ink the small blossoms from Rose Wonder with Blushing Bride Classic Ink and stamp onto the tag as well.

Add additional texture to the tag background with the Timeless Textures dotted stamp and add the Sahara Sand lace with the Antique Brad to the top of the tag.

It is difficult to capture the shimmer of the Clear Wink of Stella :-)

Add Clear Wink of Stella® to the flowers on the background and tag and mount the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals™.

Mount the entire card front onto the Extra Thick Whisper White card base to finish off the card.
