The oldest daughter of a friend I went to school with just got married. I made this card for her & her new husband. The design came from Sketch Challenge #512 at Try Stampin' on Tuesday's challenge blog, but I missed the deadline to enter their challenge. The overall look was inspired by this card I saw on Pinterest, & the embossed frame on [url=https://libbystamps.com/2021/06/22/hydrangea-congrats/this card by Libby Fens[/url].
I made my card 5x6-1/2", to accommodate both the greeting, from "Cause for Celebration," & the embossed "Decorative Labels One" die turned on the diagonal. I cut my card front from navy cardstock to that size, & embossed the die frame into it. I die cut a circle from Strathmore Mixed Media paper, & inked it with Antique Linen, to give just a bit of color. For shimmer (because we all know the moon shimmers), I pressed my Versamark ink pad all over the circle, and then heat embossed with holographic embossing powder.
I punched the owls from black cardstock. I also die cut the branch from from black. I glued them to the moon, & added a silver glitter heart that I'd punched. I trimmed off the branch where it overhung the moon edge, and adhered it centered over the embossed frame on the card front.
I die cut the greeting from a cream piece of pearlized cardstock. I felt the color complemented the moon nicely. I glued that to my card front, & finally adhered the panel to a white card base.
