I'm posting this card in the hopes my friend ( who will be the recipient next weekend) doesn't see it. I know she is really busy with wedding preparations so I'm trusting that she won't have time to read my blog!

Inside of card |
Here is what I did to put this card together...it's actually really easy!
I started by running a 5 1/4 x 4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock through my Big Shot using the Elegant Lines embossing folder. (I absolutely adore our embossing folders...so much WOW for so little effort!) Then I sponged the entire thing with Champagne Mist shimmer paint. I adhered the blue pearls, which came from our local dollar store. The ribbon is just a scrap that I adhered on either end on the back of the Very Vanilla panel. I gathered it in the middle and tied it using Linen Thread. I stamped the sentiment from the For The Bride set in Soft Suede ink on Very Vanilla cardstock. I then punched it out using my word window punch. Then I punched a modern label from Soft Suede, a wide oval from Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper, and a decorative label from Baja Breeze. I layered them all, added some more blue pearls and adhered using dimensionals. Then I layered the front panel on a 5 3/8 x 4 1/8" piece of Elegant Soiree DSP and mounted the whole thing to a Baja Breeze card base.
The inside is pretty self-evident based on the picture...no fancy techniques or secrets here! The Love sentiment is from the Level 3 hostess set called Occasional Quotes and the Congratulations is from the Perfect Punches set. The patterned paper is also from the Elegant Soiree pack.
Wow! This is beautiful! The deep embossing is very striking..
