SUMMER GARDEN WEDDING CARD

Welcome! Today's share uses the "WOW" technique: White On White! In this case I used white embossing powder on white vellum. If you need any of the supplies for this card, you can order through me at www.funstampersjourney.com/lauraneumann.

INGREDIENTS:

FSJ Summer Garden Stamp Set: SS-0078
Baby Prints Stamp Set: SS-0504
Pool Play CS (A2 card base) CS-0092
Whip Cream CS ( 1/2"x5 1/2") CS-0040

Journey Heat Gun: TO-0083
Special Day Organza Ribbon: AC-0316 Not used in sample, but will work beautifully!
White Pearls: AC-0024
White Liner Tape: Ad-0001

DIRECTIONS:

Fold Pool Play CS in 1/2 to create card base; set aside. Emboss vellum with Summer Garden stamps, Clear Pigment Ink, White Emboss Powder & Journey Heat Gun. Fussy cut one edge, as seen in photo.

With Catalina Splash Ink, stamp "Congratulations" from Baby Prints onto the Whip Cream CS. Using white liner tape, attach this strip to vellum about 1/2" from the top, Flip over & add white liner tape to the back over the white strip of CS (the strip will cover the adhesive so it won't be seen from the front!). Now attach to the front of the card base!

The final steps are to add your organza ribbon bow & pearls. Stamp a sentiment or attach a poem to the inside & Voila! Your Wedding Card is complete!

 I hope I've helped to inspire your creativity today! As always, Smiles, Laura
