Now on to today’s card share!!
For this card I decided to go a different route with the little bell. It really screams Christmas but I was thinking it would be perfect for a wedding card!
I love the color purple and so I went with my wedding colors for this card. My bridesmaids wore tea length dresses that were black with beautiful purple hydrangeas on them. Here is a semi-close up of the dress. On a side note my husband Brian and I just celebrated or 25th wedding anniversary on July 24th so I had to add the silver foil paper to the card for that milestone! And of course I always have to add a little glitz to my cards and Wink of Stella is my go to when I want a touch of bling!
Card Directions:
- Run the silver foil through the 3D Dynamic Tufted embossing folder. I love the elegant look of this folder, it’s great for a variety of cards! Then attach to the Basic Black panel and then to the Highland Heather card base.
- Using the Stitched Season medium frame cut the shape from Highland Heather cardstock, then run through the Subtle 3D Dynamic embossing folder. I did it this order so the lines from the embossing wouldn’t flatten out when running through the plates of the Big Shot.
- Cut the smaller stitched frame from Whisper White cardstock and stamp the greeting using Highland Heather ink. Splatter Wink of Stella all over the cut out by hitting it against your hand. This will make a light spray of shimmer! Make sure you put down scrap paper first it does go everywhere!!
- Using Staz-On black ink stamp three bells. Color with Gorgeous Grape, Smoky Slate and Basic Black watercolor pencils. Using a blender pen with a very light touch blend so there are no lines. Go over the top of each using Wink of Stella and add a pearl on the clapper of the bell.
- Cut each bell out using the frame from the Stitched Season framelits and attach to the Whisper White panel as shown using glue dots. Attach Whisper White shape to Highland Heather shape using dimensionals and then to card front again with dimensionals.
- Add Whisper White panel on the inside of the card.
Card Dimensions:
- Highland Heather Cardstock – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ for card base
