JAI #643 - Just Choose Two

This week at Just Add Ink we have our choose two option:

In a perfect example of serendipity, DD needed a wedding card last weekend, so I used embossing and white as my two options to create this for her.


I used a heavyweight white card with my 3D embossing folder - the photo doesn't do justice to the fabulous depth of this. After running around the edges with my Versamark ink pad, I dipped them into gold embossing powder and melted it to leave a barely-there-but-vital border and gave the inside insert the same treatment. On a separate piece of card I also gold embossed the sentiment and die-cut these, adding them with mounting strips, and my card was complete. (I did toy with the idea of adding some gold pearls but decided the card was busy enough already and I wanted the stunning embossed image to be the star of the show.)

Materials used:
  • stamps - Happily Ever After (Trinity Stamps)
  • card - Distress white heavyweight (Ranger)
  • embossing folder - Book Cover Engravings 3D (Altenew)
  • other - gold embossing powder, heat tool, Happily Ever After dies, Big Shot, craft foam, mounting strips, water spritzer

Do check out what my team mates have created to inspire you over on the JAI blog and thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
Kerry
