Silver Embossed Wedding Card

I needed to created a wedding card for my daughter's friend.  Using the sketch from Pals Paper Arts this week and my Card Word Puzzle (C1494)  stamp, I created this silver embossed card.   I randomly stamped the flower using Versa Mark ink on to a piece of White Daisy cardstock.   Then I embossed the flowers with Silver Embossing Powder.   I stamped and embossed three more flowers that I would cut out separately.  You can't really see on the picture below but the lower flower on the right is 'popped' out using the flowers I cut out and layered.



Here is a closer look at my layered flower.  It gives a little bit of dimension to the card.


Since I didn't have any silver ribbon to use for this card, I pulled out my Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon (Z1732).  I love this ribbon because I can get any color I need just by sponging the ink onto the ribbon.  Viola! I have silver ribbon!  I used Grey Wool ink (Z2125) to get this color.  It perfectly matches the Grey Wool cardstock that I have layered on my card.   I added.a small Rhinestone Designer Brad (Z1360) to the center of my bow.


Here is the sketch from Pals Paper Arts that I used:

                                               PPA135

I hope you enjoyed my card and maybe got some inspiration from it.   June is close at hand and there will be lots of weddings!

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
