Welcome to the Joy of Sets monthly blog hop where our theme this month is ‘wedding’. Whether you have hopped over from Libby Fens or started the hop with me you are welcome.
To recreate the Joy of Sets Wedding card you will need:
Soft Sea Foam card base – 8” by 7½” – scored and folded at 4”
Highland Heather – 7¼” by 3¾”
Whisper White – 7” by 3½”
Whisper White – 7¼” by 3¾” for the inside
I began by stamping the double rose image onto the centre of the small white panel using Highland Heather ink. I added the other flowers and leaves around in Rococo Rose, So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam ink.

I used the playful Alphabet dies and my die cutting machine to cut the letters out of the image. Using the same dies I cut the letters out again from a foam adhesive panel and glued the coloured die cut letters to the adhesive letters.
The stamped panel was then glued to the Highland Heather layer using liquid glue.

The backing from the die cut letters was then removed and the letters placed into the negative spaces to complete the image. I then added the ‘holes’ from the letters using the liquid adhesive…………after I had hunted through the waste bin to find them!! I forgot I would need them and threw them away……. This is known as the eclipse technique.

Using the Soft Sea Foam Blends Alcohol Marker I coloured some white seam binding ribbon, wrapped it around the stamped layer and added it to the Soft Sea Foam card base.

I splattered the card with a Clear Wink of Stella Pen and also used the pen to paint the letters. To complete the card I added a scattering of Gold Glitter Dots. So Pretty. I hope you like it.
