Here's My Card:
I have a niece and a nephew from a different family both getting married on the same weekend in May. I thought this sketch would be perfect for their wedding cards, and when the cards were finished, I wasn't disappointed. There's just something so special about square cards and this one looks so elegant.
I began with a 10" x 5" square card base cut from Very Vanilla cardstock and scored it at 5". A 4 7/8" x 4 7/8" layer of black cardstock followed by a 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" piece of cardstock from the Gold Foiled Flowers card kit (162589). The final and most delightful layer is a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" Very Vanilla mat that I embossed with the Layering Flowers 3D embossing folder.
I cut a gold foil heart and a Very Vanilla heart with a lacy edge and layered them together for the top focal point. Before adhering the heart to the front of the card I added a Very Vanilla taffeta bow and some black and gold leaf sprigs. The finishing touch were three brass butterflies.
Although I didn't get this card posted in time for the sketch challenge, I'm still happy I used the sketch, as it was the perfect layout for these cards.
Happy Stamping!
