A SO SO WEDDING CARD

We received a wedding invitation to one of our grandson's wedding this next month.  To the right "may be" the card that I give to them - not sure I like the looks of it..  Their invitation came on a background of dark brown card stock, with cream card stock as the invite.  Then there was gold trim and brown writing, so I thought I would try to follow the theme of the invitation.

For the background of my card, I used the "faux" metal technique that I learned from one of the blogs that I follow - http://creationsbychristie.blogspot.com/. You cut a piece of metallic glossy card stock to the size you wish to use, ink up your stamp with Versa Mark, stamp the image on your card stock, sprinkle with clear embossing powder, and heat until clear.  The stamp I used is a flourish from Clear Stamps by rhonna farrer - I think I purchased this at a Hobby Lobby or Michaels???  I then took some dark brown card stock to frame my handwriting "..on your wedding day.." which was on cream colored card stock.  I liked that look so I stamped the couple (stamp from Hearts In Touch  http://www.heartsintouch.com ) with brown ink from Memories and embossed it with clear embossing powder on cream card stock and mounted it on the dark brown card stock.  I then took these pieces and mounted them with Art Institute Glitter glue ( www.artglitter.com ) to the faux metallic card stock.  Before mounting all of this to cream colored card stock, I placed three antique gold brads at the upper left corner.  


Like I said, "maybe" this will be the card as I'm not to thrilled with a card that is suppose to be a "wedding card", so I'll be making more wedding cards and then choose the one I really like, but I will be using their invitation colors.    Thank you for stopping by, leave a comment if you care, and do come back again.
