Stampin' Up! Mediterranean Achiever's Blog Hop, Wedding Dreams!
March 23, 2016
Hey there!
Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for March. This month's theme is Wedding Dreams. We're sure you will find some incredible inspiration from the projects that you are about to see!
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Carol Payne, or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects!
For my project I decided to use a Whisper White Note Card and Envelope for my base to create this actually quick and easy wedding card, perfect to add to a gift or to just tuck in cash, gift card, or a check!
I kept a neutral color scheme, adding only Tip Top Taupe inks and accessories for an elegant look!
After layering Tip Top Taupe on the base, I heat-embossed a layer of Shimmery White multiple times using a rose stamp from Picture Perfect and Iridescent Ice embossing powder.
I stamped a greeting from Big News with Tip Top Taupe, rubbed the inked greeting with my embossing buddy, then stamped and embossed a single rose with Iridescent Ice over part of the word, making that area of the greeting darker. I cut it with a Lots of Labels framelit, then drew around outside of the same framelit with a pencil to hand-cut the Tip Top Taupe mat. This was added over the Tip Top Taupe 1" Dotted Lace Trim with a Stampin' Dimensional in each corner. Adding a Tip Top Taupe In Color Blossom Accent with a glue dot was the perfect finishing touch!
Inside I continued the embossed-rose theme, and stamped the companion sentiment from Big News.
I lined the envelope with a lovely script design from the Neutrals Color Collection Designer Paper Stack.
