Our inspiration site today has loads of great inspirition for wedding cards. I chose this image, focusing on the pool colored cupcakes: http://www.cottonandcrumbs.co.uk/cupcakes/
I went a bit darker so I could use my favorite distress color: peacock feathers. I first masked my main panel and then embossed the HA stamp in gold, then blended the distress ink over the embossing and then removed the mask. Embossed part of the sentiment also in gold. I thought the vintage label needed something so I went around the edges with a gold paint marker (I die cut another label and used that as a guide moving it around the shape as necessary - not perfect, but it does the job. Popped up the main panel with dimensionals and also the sentiment label. In the photo the gold looks slightly out of focus, but it is not IRL. I think that since the label was raised my camera focused on that and not what was right behind it. Linking to IC461 (inspiration site),

Your wedding card has such a richness to it with the beautiful gold embossing on the turquoise....really stunning. I like the simple CAS design to focus on your sentiment label and that beautiful panel.
