A dear friend of mine who has been widowed for a number of years is getting married this month, and I decided to make a wedding card for her and her groom.
I first stamped the couple (Inkadinkado) and coloured it with Lyra colour pencils. I made a mask and covered the stamped image with it, the did the background.
The background was done with Fluid Chalk inks, then I stamped Mica Magic Yellow Gold with a heart stamp in various areas.
I just bought a gorgeous flourish stamp by Hero Arts, and decided to use it on the card. I left the mask in place on the cardstock and stamped the flourish with Pigment Goldrush ink and embossed it with Ancient Gold Embossing powder. After heat setting, I removed the mask.
I played around with various ideas to put at the top left corner to finish the card. I tried various stamps using my stamp positioner to see how they would look, but did not like any of them. I finally decided on using die cut letters, (cut out 3 times and glued togehter to make them thicker) to spell out LOVE. Again, I fiddled with various mediums on them, and finally settled on embossing them with the same Ancient Gold embossing powder.
I edged the card front with a marker and adhered the panel to a card base in a mustard yellow colour.
