Wishing You Lots Of Happily Ever After

Hi there and happy Monday!

Today I’m sharing another wedding card, this time using the Floral Bliss and the Congratulations stamp sets from Simon Says Stamp.

I started with an A2-sized piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock.  I stamped the floral spray twice in Versamark ink, poured Ranger Super Fine Gold embossing powder over top, and hit it with a heat gun.

To add color, I smooshed Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade, and Bundled Sage Distress Oxide inks onto my work surface, a Tonic Glass Media Mat, and then used a Pentel Aquash Waterbrush to watercolor the flowers and leaves.

While the ink was drying, I stamped the spray of flowers twice in black ink onto a piece of Avery 6465 Removable ID Label to create masks.  Since I don’t own the coordinating dies, I cut them out with a Brother ScanNCut2 though I think these would have been easy enough to fussy cut.  I then placed the masks over the images I’d colored so that I could add some splatter to the background.  I used a Round 6 paintbrush to pick up some watered-down Bundled Sage and flicked it onto the card front.

Then I heat embossed the sentiment, using the same ink and embossing powder, onto a strip of vellum.  I wrapped the vellum around the card front and adhered it on the back side with a Tombow Mono Dots Adhesive tape runner. Finally, I adhered the card front to an A2-sized card base.

Thanks so much for swinging by!
