Pals Paper Arts is hosting a wedding this week! The Design Team invites you to create wedding related projects – cards, place cards, invitations, programs, favors…the list is virtually endless. As for me, I opted to create a card. I hope you enjoy it!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips:
- Paper Roses! Blushing Bride card stock was used to make this trio of roses created using the Fancy Flower Punch. After crafting the roses, I spritzed them with Stampin’ Mist and crushed and formed them into the shape I wanted. After they dried, a large Basic Pearl was placed into the center of each, and a liberal spray of Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz was applied as a final touch. A Splitcoaststampers tutorial for similar roses can be found HERE.
- Gilded Lilies! The Five-Petal Flower Punch and Whisper White card stock were used to create the lilies in this bouquet. The edges were inked with Blushing Bride and speckled using the Color Spritzer Tool and a Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker. A liberal “Smooching” with Vanilla Shimmer and Basic Pearls complete these flowers.
- Ribbons! Always Artichoke Seam Binding and Whisper White Organza snippets are used to fill in the “blank spaces” and add contrast.
- Greenery! The “Frond” from Growing Green, watercolored with a Blender Pen and Always Artichoke ink, seemed like the perfect greenery with which to complete the bouquet!
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think! And remember, if you ever have a question about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…

Your card reminds me of a wrist corsage! Looks like hours of work but well worth it!
Those flowers are terrific!! Fabulous technique to shape them, thank you for showing us the way. Your design looks like it came from a high end florist…absolutely lovely!

I am not surprised at just how beautiful your card is. I love the way that you made the roses and the lilies. Using te Artichoke ribbon is a wonderful way to make leaves to go with the flowers. Your card is stunning!!! I love looking at your creations they are always so beautiful.

Wowza – just amazing! Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!
Leslie said … This is an absolutely amazing card – one which inspires endless possibilities! I love the always artichoke seam binding. I think seam binding is a wonderfully soft touch and much more versatile than the grosgrain ribbons. Kudos to a perfect “wedding” card!
