Hi there! Hope all is well with all y'all. I am popping in to share a wedding card I finished to mail to our nephew and his bride-to-be.
I wanted to try a monochrome-ISH shades of blue card, which is the current Rainbow Card Challenge. I looked carefully at the color mood board (shown below in challenges) and noticed there were definite blue-greens, so when I remembered I had this gorgeous Colorbok Bright Ideas patterned paper, I knew this was a great chance to use some. I also used 2 blue SU card stock shades and white Office Depot index stock for the card base and stamping.
I used Sketch Saturday's challenge to use a sketch from their archives. I chose #278 from 2013 and turned it sideways. I also resized it to 5x7 (A7) in PSE.
I stamped the Sweet n Sassy happy couple in VersaFine Clair Blue Belle ink and after letting it dry well, masked it to stamp the Lost Coast background stamp in VersaFine Clair Paradise ink. After that dried well, I matted it with a Spellbinders Scalloped Frame die cut. I stamped the Sweet n Sassy sentiment, added sequins and some sparkle with a clear Crafters Companion Sparkle Pen. There's also some flowered sheer lace from my stash peeking out on the left hand side, reminding me of a bride's wedding veil.
The inside of my card got completely papered because I love this Colorbok patterned paper so much. I used more Sweet n Sassy sentiments stamped with VersaFine Clair Blue Belle ink on a Spellbinders Scalloped Square die cut from SU card stock. I used still another sheet from this Colorbok collection on the back, along with an SU card stock mat underneath, snippets from the front and an Impression Obsession siggie stamp:
