wedding shower card

We know several people getting married in the next couple of months. Most all of our friends went from getting married to having children, so there weren't too many weddings for a while, but several baby showers.

One of our friends had a shower recently and this is the card I made her. It was at a busy time, so I wanted a simple but elegant card.
I used the Elegant lines embossing folder and embossed some whisper white paper. I then took a dauber and my frost white shimmer paint and daubed all the raised areas which created a shimmer effect on the raised area (if you look really close you can see it). I then tied some organza ribbon around it creating a tone on tone look. I wanted a little pop, so I punched a scallop oval out of Basic black. I then stamped Congratulations with my black and then punched it out with the large oval punch. I raised the saying up with Dimensionals for added pop.

On the inside I added a saying and Congratulations in the same basic black. The cool thing with the clear mount is that I put both of these on my block at once, lined them up and stamped. Pretty cool. I decided I needed a little something else so I took the large flower from the wedding sweet set and stamped it subtly in the lower left corner. If you look really close you can see it. Sorry it was the best picture I could get at the time. It is there though. I think it's fun to add little touches to the inside or the envelopes to make the cards even more special.

Hope you enjoy my share today. Blessings. Lisa
