Love One Another

Hi Friends!

This card was designed using two retired stamp sets, Wonderful Moments (Stampin’ Up!) and Scripture Medley 5 (Verve Stamps) for my niece (her colors are red, white and blue).  

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to The Paper Players #502 “Wedding/ Anniversary”Challenge along with the Sparkles Monthly “Red, White and Blue” Challenge and WatercoolerWednesday #283 Tristan's Challenge “Anything Goes with a Feminine Twist” .

If you have not had a chance to check out the above challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of vellum with an embossing powder tool, ink the Wonderful Moments stamp image with Versamark™ ink, stamp onto the prepared vellum, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, trim the panel and mount onto a piece of white cardstock.

Repeat the above steps with the sentiment onto white cardstock, die cut with a stitched oval die, mount onto a oval die cut from navy cardstock.

Die cut a stitched rectangle from navy cardstock a bit larger than the bride image, mount the bride image onto the navy rectangle and add the strip of red satin ribbon. 

Mount the bride panel onto a white square card base (my card is 5 ½” square).  Add the oval sentiment with chipboard (or dimensional foam).

Create the rolled flowers from white and navy cardstock.  Add the green leaves along with the rolled flowers to the card front.

Finish off the card using a glitter pen to add shimmer to the flower petals, a few pearls and a red satin bow.
