For this month's JustRite Stampers Garden Tour 1 Blog Hop, I chose to create a wedding card. We recently attended a wedding reception for a sweet young couple who had been married several hours away, and I knew exactly which of my new stamps I wanted to use for this card-- JustRite Stampers Romantic Centers, with the sentiment "Wishing two people one wonderful life."
I chose a 2" Round Wide Border, using a 2" Round Wooden Stamper for mounting, stamping the image in Versamark and heat embossing with Filigree Detail Silver Embossing Powder. Next I added some Chamomile Distress ink on the edges to age the image.
For papers I chose Cosmo Cricket Everafter, Something Old, Something True, and Something Borrowed. I cut the border with a new Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Petite Borderabilities that should be available soon after Summer CHA, and stitched the layers together.
See that flourish? It came from Emma's Paperie, but I can't find any more to order right now in this color. It is available in other colors however, like pearls and aqua here. This is the first time I've ever used bling as big as this, and I loved it! I think I may need more. . .
That's it. The hardest part was putting it into an envelope. My husband did that while I wasn't looking. I hope the bow survived until it escaped the envelope. (I did add a tiny bit of fiberfill, so there is hope. Have a great day, and be sure to see what the other girls have been up to! (*A few of our bloggers are experiencing technical difficulties with their blogs; hopefully they will be running again soon today.)
