Jennifer’s Wedding

I know!  It’s been a long time since I have published a card and I don’t have any great excuse except that I’m busy. I have been making cards though and hopefully I will get caught up with sharing them.
My niece who lives in Wichita, KS recently got married. I wasn’t able to make the trip so I had to send a WOW card with a WOW gift.
The base of the card is  Whisper White. I used the Shimmery White cardstock with the Vintage Wallpaper Sizzix embossing folder but only put about 2/3 through the Big Shot leaving the bottom blank. This was mounted on Brushed Silver cardstock as a mat.  Next a wrap with Whisper White organza ribbon. I just love this ribbon. It’s sooooo elegant!!!! 
The sentiment  from the classic Sincere Salutations was stamped with retired Encore Silver on a scrap piece of Shimmery White cardstock.   Versamark with silver embossing powder would work with this beautifully for a current method.   The Decorative Label punch was used to punch out the sentiment and to create the faux mat. 
The Pièce de résistance is the hat pin with assorted bead & crystals from my bauble box (some from the retired Pretties Kit). 
I mailed this card using the Padded Envelope (116911). It made the journey perfectly and arrived just in time to be placed next to her wedding cake. What an honor.
This card would be just as lovely using the Brushed Gold cardstock, Gold Embossing Powder and gold hat pin.    Perfect for a golden wedding anniversary.
Stay tuned to see some of my recent creations.  I’m going to try to get better at posting more often.
