Happily Ever After

Just popping in to share another wedding card using leftover bits and pieces. I've decided that this will be the last one I share, because I'm not super thrilled with the 4th card. With each subsequent card, I was having a harder time trying to come up with an arrangement that looked cohesive and full. I created (and used) so many flowers from the Into the Blooms: Wild Wood Die Collection, but inevitably, I still had some leftover!

Once again, I used a few leftover Rosemary Sprigs, but this time WITH the berries: I colored them using ink and then added some glaze over the top for additional detail. 

The sentiment, which is from the Forever and Always Stamp Set, is heat embossed in gold and then cut using the Forever and Always Die. I layered it on a piece of Harvest Gold cardstock that was cut using the Reflections: Numbers 6 Die and then arranged the flowers on the right side using liquid glue and foam squares. 

The background was created using an embossing folder that was included with my Gemini Jr. machine and it has been my go-to for many of my sympathy cards. I love how it looks with this wedding design and it's such a quick way to add detail, texture, and dimension.

This particular embossing folder is smaller than an A2 card, so I cut it down to measure 3 3/4 by 5 inches and added it to a top-folding A2 card base using foam squares. 

This card also got a spritz or two of shimmer spray for sparkle and shine! Thanks for fluttering by!
