So I used an A4 tall card and embossed the top part with a cuttlebug embossing folder so that the front was debossed and the back embossed. The strip across the bottom is a piece of slightly foiled white card - just a hint of sheen to it. It's always difficult to get flash pictures at night, particularly when the card is predominantly white, so I'm sorry the quality isn't up to much - the card is much better irl:
The ribbon across the front and back is wired and has a very sparkly look that just doesn't show much here. The image is one that was left over from a kit. I haven't yet decided what insert to put in it - it could be 'Happy Anniversary' or 'Congratulations on your Wedding Day'.
This is also for:
365 day 26: ABC of crafting: STW - W is for white (and I think the ribbon might qualify for T for toile)
Stamping vacation: white space challenge - one layer
Stamping vacation: clean and simple challenge - no tools except a cuttlebug folder
Dutch dare card 105: celebration
Perfect to use all that white space with this image, and I love the texture - fab card.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Hazel! Thanks for playing along this week at 365 Cards!!
ReplyDeleteA perfectly beautiful card, Hazel! Love how you did the embossing on the front and back....did you do it at the same time or did you run it through twice?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty CAS card Hazel! Love the embossing and the paper that has some sheen in it! Sparkly ribbon is nice too! Thank You so much for joining us at Dutch Dare this week! If you have not already done so, please join the hop, there are many fun prizes to win!
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this pretty card.
I love the embossing, I think that it gives extra emphasis and as such would look great on the bottom half of the card. I'm sure that ribbon looks really twinkly IRL!
See you next time!

ReplyDeleteLovely wedding card. Like your embossing. x
ReplyDeleteDef an elegant card! Works perfectly for the CAS challenge at Stamping Vacation, but, unfortunately, does not qualify for the White Space challenge as it is more than one layer (ribbon and the embellishment count as a layer).
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for playing at Stamping Vacation!!
Lovely card Hazel. I think wedding day or anniversay are perfect.
