Hello! Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #474. I was inspired by the colors of the pumpkins. I needed another wedding card, so that's the direction I went with these colors. I like that this can feel like fall without all the fall-type leaves and such.
My card uses the Charming Day stamp set and dies. I also used the "branch-y" die from the Changing Leaves set. I went with a combination of embossing folders for the background, opting to use a different one for each of the layers. The vanilla layer is embossed with Garden and Glass. The Peach Pie layer is Distressed Tile. I brushed some Cajun Craze ink over the Distressed Tile to bring out the embossing. The main image flowers were colored with Cajun Craze and light Pumpkin Pie Blends. The leaves were colored with Mossy Meadow Blends. After it was all colored, I used my blending brush and brushed on some in to dull the brightness of the white after die-cutting. I arranged different leaf and branch die cuts. The lighter leaves are cut from Soft Seafoam CS and brushed with Mossy Meadow ink. I also cut some Mossy Meadow CS leaves, which I also brush with the same ink. The Cajun Craze foliage was cut from Very Vanilla CS and brushed with Cajun Craze ink. I added a large Gold Twisted Twine bow underneath everything before I started placing and gluing my main image pieces.
The sentiment is from Charming Sentiments stamp set and die bundle. I layered on a torn peice of Peach Pie double sided CS mounted on Cajun Craze CS. I also added a little strip on Gold Foil CS to the bottom to tie into all the gold accents. Speaking of gold accents, I thought the gold Heart Sequins would be a good finishing element to this lovely wedding card. After all, a wedding is all about love!
