As I mentioned previously, my friend's sister is getting married this month. While I made the previous gift to hang in their home, of course it needed to be accompanied by a card. So I took a stab at that too. I apologize in advance for the bad photo. I forgot to take a better one before I sealed it in the envelope.
Again, I only started paper crafts 2 weeks ago. I'm sorry if I don't know proper terminology of things, so I will try to explain best I can. ALSO, a lot of the embellishments in my projects are stickers or other store bought items as I am not comfortable making such things yet...moving on!
I started with a simple ivory card from Recollections. I should also mention their wedding colors are ivory, light pink, and sage. The green background and pink overlay is from the mariposa stack. I ran another strip of the ivory over them in hopes to better tie the colors together. Looking back, I wish I used ribbon...learning process.
The cake and dove stickers are from k & company I believe, and I placed the cake on some pop dots for added interest. They were kind of an off-white color which I thought matched nicely with the other colors. The embossing across the top was done with sizzix texture boutique but I unfortunately couldn't figure out how to get rid of that line from the border embossing folder :( Adds character??? Haha!
And lastly, the scalloped oval I cut with my Cricut, I want to say I used accent essentials or gypsy wanderings but I'm really not sure. Most people have punches for stuff like that I've noticed. Anyway, I lightly inked the front oval (on the pop dots ) with distress inks, spun sugar, then the edges of the oval and the scalloped oval with peeled paint to help blend with the background a bit as I didn't want the sentiment to be the major focal point so much as the cake. Finally, it was stamped with congratulations, I'm not sure what line it was, but I bought it in a small pack of 6 or 8 at Joanns.
I guess that's about everything for this post. In the next one I'll be showing the final gift to the couple. Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope to see you again soon, and comments are greatly appreciated!
