I had mentioned earlier this week about Andrew and Jordin's wedding shower present. Here's the card I made for them. Again, taking a cue from their invitation, I suspected they enjoyed the kraft paper and mint green theme. Here's the details:
- The background frame was cut using my Labels 17 die and then embossed with one of my floral embossing folders. This frame is raised off the card base with foam squares.
- The sentiment was stamped using my Market Street Stamps (sadly out of business) sentiment stamp and black Archival Ink.
- The decorative lattice was cut from white cardstock using my Heartfelt Creations Ornamental Add On die. I did lightly curl the ends to create a little interest to these pieces.
- The flower was cut from kraft colored glassine paper using my Vintage Floret dies. This stuff never disappoints with it's crinkly goodness. I simply shaped these flowers and the texture was created by the paper's properties. A pearl accent in the center added a sense of class.
- The green organza ribbon comes from the stash and is likely a reuse item. It looks delicate and colorful here.
