#stampinup #faithfulinkspirations #FabulousFriday My “work daughter” is getting married next week. I didn’t realize she was my “work daughter” until someone called her that. And, I think they’re right. She’s smart and funny and she has a bunch of quirks–that are just like mine. It’s uncanny! Plus we both have super curly hair, so we understand the struggle.
I’m so happy for her and her upcoming marriage. She’s got a great head on her shoulders and she’ll make a wonderful lifetime companion for her hubby. Of course, I’ve made a card to celebrate their wedding. I was inspired by this awesome card made by Jay from Mitosu Crafts. My card isn’t as fabulous as Jay’s card, but it’s pretty special for a special bride.
I started by stamping the big leaf from the “Daisy Lane” stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink twice (once with full ink and again without reinking) onto a 3-3/4″ by 4″ Whisper White Card Stock panel. I adhered this to a 4″ by 5-1/4″ Smoky Slate Card Stock mat. I wrapped a length of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle around and then adhered everything to a Pool Party Card Stock card base.
Next, I stamped the big daisy from the “Daisy Lane” stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink onto Whisper White Card Stock. I punched it out with the Daisy Punch.
I used the Stamparatus to align the two pieces of the “Piece of Cake” stamp set so that I could punch out the stamped pieces with the Cake Builder Punch in one fell swoop. The cake pieces are stamped with Smoky Slate Ink and colored with a combination of Light & Dark Smoky Slate, Light Lovely Lipstick, Light Real Red, Dark Petal Pink, and Dark Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends.
I stamped the “Mr. & Mrs.” sentiment onto a thin strip of Smoky Slate Card Stock in Melon Mambo Ink and quickly sprinkled on Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I set this with my Heat Tool and snipped the end of the strip with my Paper Snips.
To assemble the card, I adhered the cake pieces to the card using both Mini and regular Stampin’ Dimensionals. I snipped two of the petals off the daisy, so that I could sneak it behind the cake. I used one Glue Dot to adhere the daisy to the card. I added two regular Stampin’ Dimensionals to the sentiment piece and scooted it behind the cake, too.
I tied a cute little bow onto the Polka Dot Tulle and then I added three Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots. But I didn’t stop there! I added some extra sparkle to the flowers on the cake and to the cake stand with my Clear Wink of Stella!
I hope you have a lovely Labor Day weekend! Don’t forget to stop back on Sunday–it’s the first of the month, so I’ll be participating in the Creation Station blog hop. The theme is like today’s card: His & Hers. You’ll have to see what we’ve created. I know you’ll be inspired!!
