Christi's Creative Crew: Hand Delivered

Another Wedding Card to share with you today.
This one was inspired by Jan B

This card also features the DELIGHTFULLY DETAILED LASER-CUT SPECIALTY PAPER
SO STUNNING!
The intricate designs are 2 sided with WHISPER WHITE on one side and VERY VANILLA on the other side.
I used my POWDER PINK CLASSIC INK PAD to color the laser design. I tried sponging it, and using the SPONGE BRAYER, but using the ink-to-paper technique gave it the deeper color that I wanted. Granted I needed to re-ink my Ink Pad when I was done, but that is why the re-inkers are available, right??!!
I tried to follow Jan's instructions, but I was baffled - I guess I am easily baffled because I really love all of Jan's works.
Here is what I did...
I protected my work surface with GRID PAPER (any scrap paper will work) then I colored the one side with POWDER PINK INK as I stated above, dried it just a tad with my HEAT TOOL, then I added MULTI PURPOSE ADHESIVE to the back side using a STAMPIN' SPONGE.
I attached this delicate sheet to a piece of VERY VANILLA 12 x 12 paper. Of course you are going to get a touch of adhesive on the front but don't fret, and don't rub! Just use your EMBOSSING BUDDY to take away the tackiness.
To cut this design can be tricky, but since I had it attached to the 12 x 12 VERY VANILLA Card Stock I could cut it from the back side. Be aware that there is a border on this SPECIALTY PAPER

so I cut one side off first before I cut it to my desired size. I chose 3 13/16 x 5 1/16 - crazy size, I know, but it worked for me and your STAMPIN' TRIMMER is a very accurate tool to use for every 1/16th inch.
I also cut a piece of VELLUM Card Stock the same size and attached it only in the center which would be hidden behind the STITCHED SHAPES OVAL (largest size).
Now I attached this piece to another piece of VERY VANILLA measuring 4 x 5 1/4 and then attached that to my POWDER PINK Card Base. The VERY VANILLA MEDIUM SIZE ENVELOPES are perfect color coordination for mailing your card
This HAND DELIVERED Wedding card is from a HOSTESS EXCLUSIVE Stamp which can be yours for only $13.00 when you have a workshop or order that reaches $150.00

I stamped the legs/skirt onto VERY VANILLA card stock and added the wedding cake on top of the skirt. Super easy to line up because of the Photopolymer totally see through stamp. As you can see in this image there is 3 layers to the wedding cake but mine only has 2 layers. That is because only 2 layers fit in the largest STITCHED SHAPES oval framelit, so I hand cut them out using my PAPER SNIPS and attached them to the oval with the MULTIPURPOSE ADHESIVE.

I colored in the gal with IVORY STAMPIN' BLENDS (hands and legs), SMOKY SLATE STAMPIN' WRITE MARKER (shoes & tray), POWDER PINK STAMPIN' WRITE MARKER (flowers) & LEMON LIME TWIST STAMPIN' WRITE MARKER (leaves). I added WINK OF STELLA to her dress and cake to give it some added shimmer.

The sentiment is from FLORAL PHRASES (as well as the inside sentiment)

Both Ovals were popped up on STAMPIN' DIMEN'SIONALS. A few BASIC JEWELS PEARLS added to the cake and small oval really set it off.

I hope all these details help you to be creative in your own card making. If so I would love to earn your business. Please use the links below to contact me or shop with me.
