All in White Wedding Card

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Hi there, Card Makers,

I was recently asked to make a wedding card for a friend whose daughter is getting married.  Since I've only made a few wedding cards, I really had to put on my creative thinking cap to design a special card.  This is why card making is so addictive for me - I just love the creative process.  Here is the result.

I used bright white for the card base and Star Dream shimmery paper for the embossed layer which is just a bit off-white.  The sentiment on the front and inside were created with my computer and then printed on white card stock, and cut to size.

In an all-white card, it's kind of hard to see the dimensional aspect of the card.  To give a 3D effect, I glued two wing die cuts together before gluing onto the birds.  The bottom bird is glued to the card, but I used mounting tape to add the top bird.  Then finished it off by adding pearls for the eyes.  I'm pleased with the result and just hope my friend is too.

Happy Tuesday!

It's a beautiful day again and I plan to be out there as soon as I finish this post.  But first I want to share with you a card I made for a friend of mine who is a "shutterbug" and volunteers taking pictures of our church activities.  He's really a camera expert, so I thought it appropriate and had fun using this little camera stamp on a slide mount frame.  It's such a cute old-fashioned camera.  My friend should really get a kick out it.

The camera embossing folder made a perfect background.

I've had this sentiment stamp in my stash for a long time just waiting for the right opportunity.  I like it so much that I'm going to have to find more ways to use it.

This is a quick and easy card to make so you can pretty much just follow the pictures.  Supplies and measurements are listed below if you are inspired to make one.
