Congratulations On Your Wedding Day

Good afternoon,

      I would like to show you a card that I just completed for my cousin's wedding.





     The wedding dress was cut in ivory cardstock from the "Everyday Pop Up Cards".  I 




 embossed it with  the Cuttlebug "Floral Screen".  I added small flowers at the waist and at the bottom of the dress and  heat embossed them with the Stampin Up irridescent embossing powder.   Black pearls were added as centers.  I also cut a black shadow for the dress.





      The tuxedo was made with two hearts; one in white and one in black.  I snipped the black piece and folded the two parts to make the lapels.  I made a knot in 1/8" black ribbon and cut off the two ends and made a bow and glued it on the white heart. I took a black marker and drew buttons. I cut a small piece of ivory to decorate the pocket.

      The background was made from a black cardstock and an ivory pattern paper with gold lettering.  The paper comes from the  paper pack called Today, Tomorrow, Forever from "Me & My Big Ideas".  The black piece was cut from the "Elegant edges" cartridge, page 35. I used the Cricut Craft Room to cut it the size that I needed.





      I added the same three colors inside the card.  The black and ivory cardstocks were also cut with the "Elegant Edges".  I added a sentiment with black ink on ivory.




       I hope you all have a great weekend.  Till we talk again!
