Needed to make a card for DH's cousin's wedding coming up this weekend....the ODBD's sentiments just seemed to fit the occasion...and I built around them.
I had been anxious to use my new CB folder and it made an awesome presentation on the front (IMHO - anyway! LOL). I used it with Gina K's metallic finish cardstock....LOVED it! it made such an elegant presentation IRL...hard to capture in the picture. - the little bit of sheen just made it!
I decided to decorate the inside of the card too as a special touch and really liked how it turned out...must say...I'm pleased with how this turned out! Not often I want to say that! and as I said...these sentiments worked well!
Added flowers and pearl bling - of course - what would a wedding card be without them?! to give the flowers a little shine and sparkle, I lightly "painted" each of them with a little "Angel wings" Shimmerz....finer than Stickles but just enough to make it noticeable! Prettier IRL!
I do hope she and her DH-to-be like it! It was made with Love!
Thanks for looking!

This card is absolutely gorgeous! This is a great folder that stands well enough on it's own. It is so easy to over embellish but you have done it just right. Love it.
