CARD – Happily Ever After | Stamp Day Designs

Wedding season is coming, are you ready? Not me! I do have a couple of upcoming occasions, but I’ve got to admit that I’m not very prepared. When I peeked in my card stash recently, my heart sank … either get to work, or head to the store (never!). Here’s a cute one that I came up with. Unfortunately, the pictures do NOT do this card justice. It is super sparkly/shimmery, but I just couldn’t get the camera to capture it properly.

I started with an A2 card base of Shimmery White card stock. I heat embossed the leaves image from World of Dreams twice with Iridescent Ice Stampin’ Emboss Powder, pointing the image into opposite corners.

Next, I heat embossed the “Happily Ever After” sentiment from Big News (retiring soon!) in Iridescent Ice again. I used a smaller piece of Shimmery White card stock and trimmed around the image to create a small panel. I backed this panel with a slightly larger piece of Wisteria Wonder card stock and stapled a some strips of Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon (retired) at the left and right. This entire piece was popped up on some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I fussed around with some of the little flower stamps/punches in Wisteria Wonder and came up with a grouping that I liked before sticking them down with Glue Dots in opposite corners and embellishing with rhinestones, pearls and a few sequins (the rhinestones were colored with the Wisteria Wonder Blendabilities markers, which have recently been discontinued).

See ya next time … ink, ink, smudge, smudge!
