Hi and happy weekend! I had some time to play today and I made this card with a few challenges in mind.
The background was made with an Echo Park stencil "Magical Plaid", Versamark ink and clear embossing powder. The stamps are from 2 Gina K Designs sets, one is an older wedding set, I can't find the name of it and the sentiment is from "Congratulations on your new home"-I cut off just the "Congratulations" word to use on this card.
I used inks in aqua, yellow, gray and kraft and blended them for the background and the outer circle. I used just the aqua ink (from Reverse Confetti) for the scalloped inside circle. I used a number of different dies from Memory Box, Sizzix, and Your Next Stamp to make all the different circle elements to frame the cute couple and sentiment. I first tried covering the couple with polka dot vellum, but the dots blocked the letters and made the sentiment hard to read, so I went with plain vellum to soften the look. I was going to enter this in Less is More challenge, but once again, it's one layer and just like a week or so ago.....I added too many layers....so my next card will be one layer only!
I will enter this in:
