Today is one of those unseasonably warm days for winter - 40 degrees, but they are talking about a cold front coming in tonight with temps below zero degrees for most of the coming week. Brrrrrrr... I'm planning on staying inside tomorrow, which means I can work on my cards! My card for today is for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge - Diamonds are Forever. Suggestions were for a diamond anniversary card, wedding or just a card with a lot of bling. I went with a wedding card. Normally, I make A2 size cards, but for wedding cards I usually go bigger. I have a stash of 5 x 7 envelopes just for this purpose. If you check out my blog you probably notice l like to use whimsical or cute type images. I went more traditional with this card.
Here is my card.
The back panel was stamped with a flourish stamp. It was one of the first stamps I bought. I don't have the packaging anymore, so I can't tell you what stamp company it was from. It's hard to see in the pic, but I colored her veil & dress with a B000 Copic marker to give it a shadow effect. The sentiment is from Stampin Up and I actually bought this set just for this sentiment. I love how the "o" is made to look like a ring, so I added some bling to look like a diamond.
Here is the same card done in gold.
