On our inspiration site this week (IC481), I was inspired by how lovely the gold details looked on the blue and green backgrounds here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/396105729696265953/I decided to go with island indigo for my background and make a wedding card. I embossed the damask type stamp from Elements of Style which I had never used before(!) and it made a lovely intricate pattern. Also embossed the sentiment and then attached a thin gold strip to divide the sections. Popped this up on dimensionals, added gems and 2 hearts cut or punched from gold foil cs. I love how this turned out!
