I SO love white on white cards. I was hesitant about making this card because, after all I had to fussy cut not just one but three flowers. And it ended up being 6 flowers, 3 bases and 3 layered on top. Funny thing, I always survive it!!! LOL
So, onto how I made this fun wedding card.
The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock. I cut it in half on the 8-1/2" side so this card opens from the bottom.
Next I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Smoky Slate card stock.
I cut the focal piece 3-7/8" x 5-1/8".
I stamped the leaves from the "Petal Palate" set using Smoky Slate ink. Then I stamped the dotted piece from the "Petal Palate" set. I only inked about an inch of it and I stamped it 7 or 8 times around the parameter of the three flowers. I had set 3 bases on the card front for placement of the leaves and dots but I didn't stick them in place. I needed to be able to move them to add more stuff. I also took a blender pen and some Smoky Slate ink and colored in some areas to give it a dusty look. Click on the photo, you can see some of it just above the top flower. I did add some Wink of Stella to the 6 flower pieces.

I took some of the silver thread and wound it up and stuck it down with a glue dot. Then I joined the top flower to the base and set the flowers in place using Dimensionals. I had die cut 2 large branches from the "Petal Palate" set using the Dazzling Diamonds glitter paper. One flower was cut using the double sided sheet so it was more like a sticker. And the other I just glued the ends under the flowers. I cut that leave stem in pieces and used them throughout the card front. I added some "Clear Faceted Gems" to the center of each flower and for the final touch I added some rhinestones around the card.
The words are from the "Beautiful Bouquet" set using Basic Gray ink.
I taped the layers together and the card was finished. I REALLY like how this card turned out.
Thank you SO much for stopping by today,
