It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players! Lesley has a lovely sketch for us this week. Since I needed a wedding card, I opted to make one which will be hand-delivered. I plan on making a box to hold it from coordinating paper. It is not a design that will suit everyone’s taste. However, I know that the bride loves a vintage look, and I know she will love the dimension achieved by popping the focal image upon a rosette.
The finished card measures 4-1/4” x 5-1/2″.
- Snip! Snip! The floral wreath was snipped from an Apothecary Art image and watercolored with Always Artichoke and Regal Rose inks! The idea for embellishing the label using a snippet from the Elements of Style stamp set is courtesy of the Stampin’ Up! catalog!
- Faux lace! The gorgeous Island Indigo lacey border was snipped from a pattern from Fan Fair Designer Series Paper.
- Pearls galore! Basic Pearls add a little “oomph” to the centers of the flowers and emphasize the scallops!
I love the unexpected “pop” of color added with the Island Indigo Fan Fair pattern paper. How about you? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one of them. Of course, if you have questions about any of the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…

Wowza! Look at the dimension on that beauty! Holy fussy cutting, Batman! Lol! Such a gorgeous wedding card with a fabulous vintage vibe. I’m sure the bride will treasure this one, Ann. 🙂

Beautiful card, Ann! I love the 3-dimensional elements and the pearl bling on the roses and lace. Very pretty!!!
Just beautiful and perfect for a wedding especially! Love the rosette with wreath, pearls, and this new dsp. It’s gorgeous Ann!
This card is typically-Ann-gorgeous! I LOVE the color-combo; my niece used very similar colors in her wedding last year, and it was a vintage-style all the way. Perfect for the bride!
Yowl and howl and wag that tail! This is amazing. Looks good enough to eat (something I tried to do last night we Mom and Dad had company-hee, hee). I’m sure Lexi would love this! Did you show it to her yet. I mean the colors, the flowers, the pearls – look just like my teeth! Oh Muffy how neat to live in your house. Hi Brody (said shyly with a slowly wagging tail and flapping eyelids)!
You are amazing Ann girl! Another masterpiece.
Thanks for blessing OUR day! :))))
The card is gorgeous! What a lucky bride!
Wow Ann, your card is gorgeous! I lova all the details, the colors you chose are perfect…

It is all about the details and wow, what details! This is gorgeous! What a “marriage” of colorful details! I love it. I could not even think about all that snipping and cutting! The pearls are just perfect. Well, done my friend! That card is destined for the wedding book of cherished keepsakes – do they still do that?

Love every bit of this card, Ann, including the color combination. I think my eyes about popped out of my head when I saw all the flowers atop the rosette! This is a beauty the bride will no doubt always cherish.
Beautiful card, Ann, that is a gift in itself! The bride will love it. It took me a minute to take it all in it’s so detailed!
Beautiful! Even if it is not everyone’s style, you still have to give it that. And it is “Ann” style. Never thought about cutting that wreath out. And all those lovely pearls!!!
Oh, wow! I especially love the faux lace. It looks so elegant, and sort of like washi tape.
The bride will love this! I know all those snips had to be time consuming, but the result is nothing short of stunning!
The dimension on this is incredible…and I love the color combination. You are becoming quite the fussy cutter!
Stunning card Ann. You did a lot of fussy cutting and your time and effort paid off. Love the faux lace and of course all the pearls. I am sure that the bride will cherish this card from you,
Very pretty! This has to take you a while to fussy cut all those flowers out. I think the bride will LOVE it!!
Wow – you need to take up scherenschnitte (yes I had to look up the spelling!) – beautiful for a wedding!
Fab card colors with gorgeous focal point! Love all the pearls, too!
The rosette along with the floral wreath and pearls is stunning. Love the DSP too with the pearls. Gorgeous card.
Unique color combo – very elegant~
So pretty, what a great design.
lOVELY OVER THE TOP CARD!! I am sure the bride will love it.
Gorgeous as always my friend!
Gorgeous card Ann! So vintage and so unique- a great combo, I’m sure the bride will love it!
Wow, this is amazing…I don’t know how you get such perfect little cuts…snip, snip, snip! The bride will love it!
That’s amazing. Although I am not a fan of the color scheme, I do certainly appreciate it – it’s very interesting, and I’m sure it suits the bride to a T. What gorgeous work – art work, that is.
Stunning! Really Gorgeous card Ann
