It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week the sweet and talented Jaydee has a theme challenge for us: Create a Square Card. How easy is that? I have a wedding coming up, and I needed a card. Because my own wedding bouquet decades ago was made of calla lilies, the Remarkable You stamp set, with its calla lilies image was my choice. Because the image is so simple, I decided to keep the card relatively clean and simple, too. I hope you enjoy today’s card!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 5-1/4″ square.
- Gitteriffic! The “wow” factor on this card comes from Dazzling Diamonds glitter. The calla lilies were water colored using Aqua Painters and Blushing Bride, So Saffron, and Pear Pizzazz inks. The blossoms were then outlined with glue and the glitter was applied. Other touches include Crystal Effects on the So Saffron pistil, and gold embossed spatters.
- Not your average brick wall! The Brick Wall embossed panel was also “glittered” for a touch of sparkle.
- Sequins! Blushing Bride Sequins were used to accent the double Whisper White satin Bow.
Lexi and I are spending the weekend in Marion, IL, attending the Crab Orchard Kennel Club dog show. Hopefully we will have good news to report when we return home late Sunday night. Lexi is a great traveling companion. This will be the first time I’ll be away from Jack and Kia since they were 5 weeks old. I will miss these little scamps!
What do you think of today’s card? I can tell you, it is much prettier in person than it is in the pictures. The glitter really sparkles! Won’t you let me know what you think in your comment? Your comments are important to me! Of course, if you ever have any questions about the cards I create, or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…

I’m late this week – playing catch up again! What a gorgeous wedding card Ann – I just love all the elements of glitter and sparkle that make this card so special. Beautiful!
Sorry I am so late with my comment! This is lovely, Ann. The color combo is gorgeous and I love the way you glittered up the bricks and flowers. Gorgeous, my friend!
Beautiful wedding card Ann, I love the addition of the sequin string detail! Thank you for your kind comments about my entry. Stef x
Simply stunning!! The colors are just perfect, I love the touches of gold and the glittery brick wall. Fantastic!!
Ann love your card and the colors are so pretty. I’m STILL waiting for my brick wall embossing folder. I’m SO frustrated!!! The back orders are really getting bad. I don’t even want to push anything any more. That little puppy face is so cute! Good luck on your trip.
Hugs.
This is totally stunning! Colors and shiny details are amazing, Ann!
I love the glittered brick wall. I love the Brick Wall TIEF and definitely plan to try out this look with it. 🙂
This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I wasn’t sure if I should get this set, but you’ve convinced me!! LOVE it!! What a perfect wedding card!
Beautiful! And not a pearl in sight!
Pink and glittery–love it!!! Beautiful wedding card. Good luck Lexi.
Beautiful and how perfect for a wedding!
Thanks, Bonnie!
I can’t wait to make a few more of these to have on hand…in different colors!
So pretty Ann! Love the calla lily flowers and dreamy colors. Your touches of sparkle are perfect! Great wedding card!! Hope Lexi had a great day and that you had safe travels. She’s just adorable, love her sweet little face!
Thanks, Kelly! We did end up with a great…although tiring weekend. Lexi earned 6 points toward her grand champion title. We have 12 more to go! Have a wonderful week!
Beautiful card Ann. Oh, how delightful to see glitter again. Such a nice touch to your card. You’ve inspired me to use pretty glitter on MY next card too. Pink and gold, just too scrumptious for words.

Thanks, Loralee! I love a touch of glitter on a card. The sparkle on this one is so much prettier in person. As an added plus, this card was so quick and easy to make. I think I will whip up a couple more in different colors to have on hand!
Hello Ann: Your card is simply gorgeous and so elegant, the glitter really is a WOW!! factor, looks amazing and the sweet pink sequences add just the perfect touch of bling. The newlyweds will absolutely love it.
Thank you for sharing.
Maria.
Thanks, Maria! I debated on whether to add the sequins, and in the end, I kept them on…although I love it without, too!
Oh Ann, this is stunning and oh so elegant! I love the beautiful colors, the shimmer and shine! Also love the touch of hanging a few sequins from the bow!
Thanks for the sweetness, Sandy!
Gorgeous and such elegant sophistication in the calla lilies. I can see the dazzling diamonds even in your photo – so do not dismay – it is beautiful. Nice choice of the blushing bride and the way you painted the edges. Couldn’t imagine any detail to be different or better. Best wishes at the dog show with Lexi – hope we get a great report either way.
Thanks, Jan! Sometimes the prettiest cards are the most difficult to photograph. Lexi did great! We are now over halfway to her Grand Champion title. Our goal is to get it before it is Jack’s turn 🙂
I love this card as I do all of your creations! If i had known you were going to be as close as Marion, IL, I would have tried to meet you in person. I live in Paducah, Ky. I hope the dog show was a success!
Oh my gosh! That would have been fun! I’ll have to start posting where we will be! I knew we were close to Kentucky 🙂
Love it!
I love your card and I love the stamp set. Love all the flowers. It is a winner.
OH Ann – I don’t know how it could be any prettier “in real life!” pink and gold – genius color combo – glittery brick wall – more creative genius! Add sequins….. Wowser! Simple cala lilies – POP! Make it square! EXTRAordinary!!!
Gorgeous florals, Ann! I love your choice of colors, the glitter, and the brick background is perfect! Very pretty square card!
Very pretty card! I am anxious to try it. My niece’s wedding is in Sept. and her flower is the Calla Lily. I hope you and Lexi had a great and successful weekend. Take Care and God Bless.
Very pretty! I love the brick wall background with it. The calla lilies look so pretty as you colored them. Love the layers! Great job as always. Keep us up to date on Lexi’s wins!
