On Your Special Day

Morning my crafty friends!  How's this for a wedding card!  Or even an anniversary card!  Silver and white always makes such a lovely statement, doesn't it?   I had this pretty backing paper in my stash that is actually a silvery white pearl on white motif on it, it just screamed wedding to me.  I cut two of the heartfelt Decorative window out of matte silver card.  This particular window die is not symmetrical in it's shape so I decided to lay them across each other to take advantage of that.  It ends up looking like two different die cuts layered up!  I cut one of the fancy tags out of white card and layered it in the centre.  Then I stamped my sentiment on white card, covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet and die cut it again using the same fancy tag die.  After removing it, I nipped away all the scrolly bits which left me with the centre oval shape.  I micro beaded this piece and mounted it with foam atop the first tag shape.  I stamped one of the Justrite scalloped border stamps on white card and heat embossed it with white powder for a tone on tone look.  I cut it out with the scalloped edgeability die shape and added it to the side of my card.  I used some silver satin ribbon down the side of my card, just allowing my border to peek out from underneath it.  I tied a double bow with a pearl embellishment and stick pins and added it to the bottom of my ribbon strip with a piece of white tulle.  I paper pierced the edges of my white mat as my finishing touch.  Anyone getting married soon?  You will be sorted!  Finished dimensions are      6 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Beautiful card yet again. My piercing ruler arrived yesterday but none of my tools appear to be 1mm. Any idea where I can get one from please? Really looking forward to seeing both you and Julia next week. Have fun. SueL

"Wow!" Sue, this is such an elegant card. It's just stunning in the silver & white. It's been lovely to see you on C&C again. Watching you do the demo of the shaving foam brought another "wow", not just from me but my hubbie as well.....that takes a lot!! My dazzlers & pearl embellishments arrived yesterday. A very speedy delivery & so so happy with them. They're beautiful! Take care Sue & "thank you" for your wonderful inspiration. xx Love Karen xx
