I paired up the color combo with this week's sketch from Stamping 411, which I absolutely love!! Thanks ladies!
There is minimal stamping on this card. I really wanted a lot of dimension, so I used the Floral Fusion and Swirls Scribbles Sizzlits dies to create the floral bouquet. The Basic Gray DSP came from a retired hostess paper pad, but there is a similar paper available in the current catalog. I MAY have over-done the BLING...but it's a wedding card, so I think it it is appropriate. (I can ALWAYS justify the bling...I'm just saying!) I used the Stripes Embossing Folder on the Basic Black card stock. The sentiment is from the Blissful Bride stamp set, which is sadly retired. (I just recently purchased it from a stampin' friend, though...so it is new to me. Thanks Ann! ) I completely forgot to snap a photo of the inside of the card, which included another sentiment from the same stamp set. Whoops!

Anne Marie, I LOVE the wedding card! It looks gorgeous! even with a red card. :) [I think the black card base would be more dramatic, but it's still beautiful!]

And you can never have too much bling. I think your card looks elegant and well tailored!
Have a wonderful weekend, and congrats to your friends upcoming wedding.

Such a striking wedding card! I bet the couple will love that you took the time to make them a card in their chosen colors. Love the layers of floral fusion flowers. Just purchased that one myself & can't wait to give it a try. Not much of an expert with my big shot yet though.
ReplyDeleteIt's really interesting the different looks you can get from the same colors. Love the boldness of your card and those flowers look awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so elegant- amazing card, Anne Marie !!
ReplyDeleteWowza...you rocked both the sketch and the colours! Love what you did with the flowers, I need to use that die more...thanks for the reminder.

I believe it's impossible to have too much bling on a wedding card! You're safe. LOL. Love the way you've done this color challenge with the rich red and embossed grey... it all sits so well on the black! Beautiful creation.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I just love those layered flowers, the flourishes, and the wide ribbon. They all make such a huge impact on the card! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the dimension all the layers on your card create. The flourish behind the flowers is a great touch and the white stitched ribbon is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Anne Marie!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, I love all the layers and the bling, wow. The colors are great and the stipes add such elegance. I like the card being red. Black would be too dark I think. Great job.
