Happy Wedding Day

A Happy Wedding Day is something that the bride and groom look forward to for their big day. It’s a day that can be filled with excitement and joy. However, the little slip up can become a source of frustration for the day. While we try to plan for each and every event, sometimes things just slip through the cracks.

Because the wedding day is filled with hopes and dreams, the happy couple want everything to go perfect and according to the plan.

The happy wedding day is most about controlling the nerves. To help with that day, I made a monochromatic colour wedding card. Monochromatic colours can be soothing and so I choose to use Whisper White and Sahara Sand with a touch of gold.

To finish the cake, I cut pieces of Whisper White card stock the same size as the cake layers. Emboss these pieces with the Elegant Dots Embossing Fold and decorate with Gold Glitter hearts.

For the front of the card:

Stamp the leaves from Kinda Eclectic on the Whisper White card stock using Sahara Sand. I stamped off once before stamping on the card stock.

Stamp the flowers using Sahara Sand ink and punch using the matching punch. Curl up the petals a bit before layering together with Dimensionals.

Place a small Metallic Foil Doily behind the flower using Glue Dots.

Pull strands from the Jute Ribbon to create the whispies behind the flower. Attach using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Loop a length of Metallic Gold Baker’s Twine and attach over the Jute Ribbon. Place a length of Tear and Tape tape to hold the ribbon and the twine and attach the flower using glue dots.

The last step was to create the sentiment:

Stamp with Versa Mark and emboss with Gold Emboss Powder on Whisper White card stock. Die cut using the Lots of Labels Framelits. I trimmed off the top and bottom of the framelit to make the sentiment a little smaller. Finally, attach the flower to the bottom of sentiment and add Pearl Jewel.

I was inspired by “creative stamping” to make this card.
