Talking Wedding Card

Here is one of the cards I worked on this afternoon. It was a lovely sunny day and I was inspired to make this card. I had a request for a wedding card and my friend favours purple. I had another stamping buddy come over today to catch up on life and stamp a few cards. One of the stamps she brought was the Medallion Background stamp (SU pg. 133 #115223). It is such a lovely card and as soon as I put Orchid Opulence and Elegant Eggplant together I got inspired.

I sponged the two purple inks onto the Medallion. I also used So Saffron to add a touch of gold to the card. I embossed the word "Love" from Wonderful Words in white. (Yes, this set is discontinued but I know this is a classic set that many other SU stampers might have.)

I cut out the Medallion and added Dazzling Diamonds in around the pattern and around the pearl. The lovely swirls coming from out behind the propped up Medallion on Dimensionals is Baroque Motifs stamped in So Saffron. I lightly sponged Orchid Opulence over the swirls to give it some softness (hard to see in the picture).

I impressed the Orchid Opulence card stock with the Texturz Background 1 first and then embossed.

For wedding cards I like to make an 8.5" x 5.5" because I think they need to be substantial. Plus I still a half of pack of the Extra Large envelopes SU used to sell. I wish they would bring them back.

(Thanks Jenna for bringing this stamp!)
