I’ve spent so much time over the holiday weekend playing with paper and it’s no exception this morning I put the finishing touches on my card for the challenge over at The Paper Players.
For my card today I went with the Congratulations theme. I stamped the SSS Floral Bliss floral image with Versamark ink and heat embossed with SSS Ultra Fine Gold EP on a sheet of pink 6×6 pattern paper from the Echo Park Wedding Bliss paper collection that was included in the June 2017 SSS Card kit. I really love this kit the papers and stamp set are perfect for wedding cards
I picked the black floral pattern paper and added a strip of gold foil paper to draw your eyes too the stamped image on the muted pink paper.
I heat embossed the congratulations sentiment on a strip of black cardstock with the same SSS Ultra Fine Gold EP and adhered it on the card with foam tape to give it dimension. I added a few embellishments with the Nuvo Glitter Drops in Honey Gold to finish off the card and adhered it to a top-fold Neenah Solor white card base.
Thank you for stopping bye to check out my design for this weeks theme challenge over at The Paper Players!
Lisa your card is gorgeous! I love the way you used just a hint of patterned paper to the edge of your card to highlight your beautiful stamped image but not detract from it – something I’ve been doing lately too. The gold and pale pink front panel is so very pretty too. Thanks for playing along with my challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
Joanne,
Thank you so much. When I saw the challenge was a theme I knew I wanted to create a wedding card. I’m so happy you like my technique of embossing on the pattern paper. I wasn’t sure how it was going to come together. I’m always amazed how when your not sure of something and the result ends up being better than expected. I love playing over on the Paper Players. Thank you for giving us so many options too play with this week.
