It’s Thursday, and time to play at Pals Paper Arts. This week the talented Margaret Moody is blessing us with a fabulous sketch. I thought the oval layer would be perfect for spotlighting the dress from Love and Laughter. The multiple layers are right up my alley, and just ready and waiting for a healthy dose of texture!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
The finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Tempting Texture! Don’t be afraid to mix different textures on the same card! This card boasts a triple threat of Textured Impressions Embossing Folders: Perfect Polka Dots for the Very Vanilla background layer, Snowburst for the Very Vanilla oval mat, and the adorable Hearts Adorning Accents for a Blushing Bride strip!
- Say “Yes” to the Dress! Inked in Riding Hood Red, to coordinate with the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper, this Bridal Gown sports a non-traditional Riding Hood Red Pleated Satin Ribbon flounce, bedecked in Basic Pearls. A trio of Basic Pearls accentuates the waistline.
- Tip of the Day: Use Sticky Strip to attach the flounce! It will hold securely around the curve!
- Ribbon Rose! Pleated Satin Ribbon makes ribbon roses easy to complete! All it takes is a little Sticky Strip on a punched card stock circle, and you can create this beauty in seconds!
- Think Outside of the Box! The Riding Hood Red Sizzlit Doily, originally created for use on another card, receives a reprieve and major surgery! One of the inner rings is perfect for n edging to add contrast for the oval mat. All it take is a few snips here and there to create these “medallions”!
This is not a traditional wedding card in terms of colors…but can’t you just see this same layout in an elegant monochromatic color palette? I can…and it will be featured in an upcoming post!
I hope you enjoyed today’s card, and that you will indeed join us in our sketch challenge this week! In the meantime, won’t you please leave me a comment and let me know what you think about this Love and Laughter card? Your comments are important to me…and I do read each and every one of them. Of course, if you ever have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…
