A Bohemian Garden Wedding

Today's creation, two lovely Wedding cards, inspired by the Essentials by Ellen APRIL Pin-Sights Challenge and the beautiful watercolour floral wreath card made by Yoosun Hur.

I stamped second generation images from the Essentials by Ellen Bohemian Garden stamp set with various Distress Inks on watercolour paper.  A little water and a paint brush was used move the colour around.  A little extra colour was added with the paint brush by smooshing the ink pad (onto a laminated piece of white card stock) and diluting with water.  Once dry, I added some silver paint splatters. 

The beautiful "Mr & Mrs" sentiment from Mama Elephant's Bountiful Blessings set was stamped on vellum with Versamark ink and then embossed with WOW Metallic Silver embossing powder. Cut out using a circle stitched die, and attached with little dots of Multi Medium Mate (I love that stuff).


Work in progress

I procrastinated with various enamel dots, sequins, pearls and rhinestones, but they all seemed a bit heavy, so Clear Wink of Stella to the rescue.  It adds a nice subtle shimmer (which is very difficult to see in the photo).

One card has a purple shimmer layer that was repurposed from an envelope, and mounted onto a silver card base.  The other is a fine corrugated silver card I have had for years.

Here is the inspirational piece:

I will also be entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Work-it Wednesday April 2016 - Flowers.
