I finished this card, then wondered if making it black might be making a statement that I don't mean to make about weddings. I had in mind something semi-formal--that's all, honest!
I stamped a tone-on-tone background on the black cardstock, using the same Petite Pattern CHF backgrounder that I used on the white mat layer. Lockhart wedding cake image is stamped in Adirondack pitch black ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored with the Copic markers shown below. I used some Making Memories dull black mini brads at the edges of the ticket-punched (SU) corners.
The cake is enhanced with both Spica clear and melon green glitter pens, as well as Ranger Glossy Accents on the flowers. White taffeta ribbon and silver metallic cord are both from Stampin' Up. I used a Spellbinders Nestability Plain Rectangle die to cut the focal image, but I matted it using SU's Perfect Layers tool. The Celebrate Today tag sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink's Mixed Messages set, and it's stamped on a tag from one of my new Spellbinders die tag sets that will be available in April. I stamped the envelope with a Lockhart floral vase itty-bitty; these are the perfect scale for envelopes.
Thank you for visiting!
