This card used today's Technique Lover's Challenge, Embossed Wax Paper Resist to create another wedding card. I love how this one turned out! I used the Textile Cuttlebug Folder to create my wax paper resist and brayered on Baja Breeze ink. I wiped off the excess ink and then coated the whole thing with Versamark ink and Iridescent Ice EP. It's got wonderful sparkle IRL. I stamped a piece of Baja Breeze CS with the swirl from To Have and To Hold and then colored in the flowers with a white gel pen and added some DD Glitter to them. I inked up the circle medallion from Together Forever with Baja Breeze ink and stamped that on WW CS. I used a reverse mask to mask the image and stamped the bride and groom in the center. (Note the only part of this image that shows is the dotted circle. I colored the couple and added glitter to the gown and veil. I stamped the frame from Gallery in Chocolate Chip ink and punched out the center. I mounted the bride and groom behind this piece. Did some layering and added the lovely chocolate satin ribbon and the Mr. & Mrs. from All Holidays. This was punched with the word window punch.

Your extra step with embossing and sparkling the background makes it look really special. It's altogether a really beautiful wedding card in every detail; your customized DP at the bottom, the lovely medallion - everything...
