Unique Wedding Card
Hi there! Today I have a unique wedding card to share with you. It is unique because you don’t obtain the same effect in all cards that you made. I used Desert Sand Memento Ink but you can use any color of ink to create this look.
The technique used in my card was colored embossing folder. It is fun and simple and now that you can get wedding invitations in craft stores you can add your personal touch to the make it more special just pasting the decorated layer on top.
Directions:
- Select the embossing folder design that you want to use.
- Ink the flat layer of the embossing folder with the color of ink of your preference. Like this is a wedding card, I used Desert Sand Memento Ink to combine it with gold and enhance the white. You can apply the ink directly with the ink pad or using a brayer.
- Insert the card stock on your embossing folder and pass the sandwich through your cutting machine.
- Resize your layer a little small that the card base.
5. In a separate piece of card stock with the same color of the card base, stamp the couple image using VersaMark and Gold Embossing Powder. Cut the image with a defined form. I used the rectangle form because it works perfectly with my design of the card and the embossed textured.
6. Create a mat for your stamped image using the same color of card stock. Ink the borders of the larger rectangle with VersaMark Ink.
7. Cover the inked area with Gold Embossing Powder and melt the powder with the heat tool. Paste your stamped image over the embossed mat.
If you want to add more details this is the moment. In my sample I tie a bow in ribbon around of the embossed background and pasted it directly over the card base. Then I pasted the main stamped image over the decorated card base using double sided foam tape.
