Wedding Card

This week at Joan's Gardens we are challenged to take elements from the letters in TULIP and make a card. This is what I came up with in making a wedding card for the daughter of a friend:

• T - trim, as in the corner embellishment
• U - union, as in holy matrimony
• L - lattice, lace border
• I -  items from Joan's Gardens
• P - pearls
• S - sentiment, sparkly glitter

The daughter of a special friend is getting married this weekend, and I wanted to make her a card for the occasion.  The card is pretty much white on white, with a few silver features, and a teeny bit of black.

I started out by embossing vellum with a polka dot embossing folder; then glued a piece of die cut lattice onto the top of that.  The lattice has glitter glued onto it. The top and bottom of the "framework" has a lace border glued down. The sentiment was printed out on my computer and an oval frame was die cut around it; pearl embellishments were added to it, and then all of that was attached with dimensional stickies. Three rolled roses made from plain paper printed in black ink with non-sensical phrases were added, along with leaves and flourishes made from white cardstock and white vellum. A glittery bow was added at the bottom left and a silver butterfly at the top right, and a silver corner embellishment was added on the bottom right to balance out the strong embellishments on the left.

Here are the tools I used to make the card; you can get all the Spellbinders, Cuttlebug, Memory Box and Cherry Lynn items from Joan, and most of the other items, as well:

• Spellbinders: Fancy Lattice, Floral Ovals, Foliage, Jewel Flowers and Flourishes, Bitty Blossoms, Moroccan Accents
• Cuttlebug: Polka Dot embossing folder
• Memory Box: Pippi Butterfly
• Cheery Lynn: Fanciful Flourish, Dancing Doily Lace Border
• Glitter, glittery bow, pearl embellishments, white cardstock, white vellum, dimensional stickies

And here is the card:

The card is actually whiter than indicated in the pictures, and the bow is definitely a bright white color with iridescent sparkles on it.

To show the strong dimensionality of the card, here is a view taken from another angle:

This will be a happy day for the bride and groom, and our prayers and good blessings go to them.

I will also be entering this card in Word Art Wednesdays.

Thank you for coming by and visiting my blog.  As always, God's highest and best for you today and every day.
