I saw today's challenge of Think Big and new that this would be fun!! Rather than just use a big embellishment, I used little flowers, dies and ribbon to make a bigger spray and used a big background die...hope this is o.k.
I have several weddings coming up this summer and the upcoming release at Our Daily Bread Designs is perfect!!!! It is mostly wedding and anniversary!!
For this card I used the stamp set Wedding Blessings with their bigger font sentiments.
I always love white or ivory for weddings. It just looks so elegant. The background is embossed with the Darice Fleur De Lis embossing folder and/or created with the Our Daily Bread Designs Quatrefoil Pattern Die. I wanted to give it an envelope look with lots of greenery to match my nieces elegant tastes.
The Mr. and Mrs is framed or cut out with the Spellbinders Labels 4 die. The leaves are created with the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die and the Martha Stewart Foliage punch (embossed with SU Basket Weave on old olive paper).
Thanks for a great and fun challenge Jeanne!! Thanks for looking all!!

I love it. All the embellishments are beautiful against the creamy embossed bg.

Your flower arrangement looks like a bridal bouquet, Chris! So pretty....I love the placement of the ribbon, the sparkly silver on the edges, and the Mr. & Mrs. tag~

Wow, what a gorgeous Wedding card. The spray is absolutely beautiful and how clever of you to think of it not only for a wedding card but for today's F4A think Big!
