Wedding Card

Happy Tuesday! I have a wedding card I made a couple of weeks ago but couldn't post before the wedding. It just didn't seem right in case the bride saw it before I gave it to the happy couple.

This card uses products from the new Forever Lover Suite from Stampin' Up! I'm not big on buying wedding sets (unless they can be used for other things) or baby sets. Until now. As happens with life you go through stages. Thirty-five years ago weddings and babies were all I knew. Then they stopped. Now, it's those babies having weddings and babies!

This card is for one of my dearest friend's daughter. The daughter is even named after me - her middle name is my name! So I had to make her a special card.

I started with one of the foiled cards from the Suite. They are beautiful! I layered a piece of vellum cut wit the Deckled Rectangle die but you could just cut a rectangle. I love the rough edge but in this case it may not have added that much. I used Gold Foil to cut the center outline and - this is key - use self adhesive backing on the foil or you will have a hard time gluing it down without the glue messing up your foil.

The inlay is not difficult. I just cut the same piece again and filled in the gaps like a puzzle. Using the Take Your Pick tool putty end makes it super easy to pick up pieces and lay them down. I put a small dot of glue in the hole where the piece fit and pretty soon it was finished.

I used Mint Macaron, a retired color, for the insert and sentiment. There are two types of card where I will use retired colors because close isn't good enough - wedding and graduation. A bride has her colors and schools have theirs! And you don't mess with either - LOL!
