I don't often have an opportunity to make a wedding card, but the son of long-time friends was married in Costa Rica last month. It was, of course, a destination wedding for friends of the bride and groom and their extended families. My card needed to be one that could be easily mailed to the lovely couple.
I chose a favorite hot foil plate from Pinkfresh Studio, "Charming Floral Border," and colored it in soft colors using the coordinating stencil. I used two shade of pink and two shades of green but after the ink dried the colors blended together, so it's impossible to see the difference in the photograph. It's a bit better in real life.
I layered one of Papertrey Ink's "Pierced Frames" to the card base before adding the die cut floral border. The gold embossed sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's "Keep It Simple: Wedding," and the inside sentiment (which I love) is from Papertrey's "Half and Half," a set that's been in my stash for a very long time.
I'm sending this off to The Flower Challenge: Use a Sentiment for their sixth birthday. The challenge closes in just a few hours!
