Stampin' Up! Black White and Gold Wedding Card

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

I was asked to make a Personalised Wedding card recently and my client asked if I could make a card to match the wedding invitation.  The card on the left in the photograph below is the invitation and the card on the right is the card I made.

I did have a bit of a panic as I didn't have a dragonfly stamp but fortunately my very good and kind friend Lea sent me her Awesomely Artistic stamp set to use. Thanks so much Lea x

I heat embossed the gold spots on the card and then used my white gel pen for the white spots.

For the inside of the card I used Gold embossing powder and then my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker pen for the black dots. I used the sentiment 'wishing you both a very special day' from the retired For the New Two stamp set.

I also stamped the dragonfly on the back of the envelope but unfortunately I forgot to take a photograph of that. I was really pleased with how the card turned out and my client loved it as well.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

The lovely Keren Howell of Tuppence Coloured designed our sketch this month and here it is:

I just love a clean and simple card and this design is crying out for just that. Here is my interpretation of the sketch.

I've used a base of thick Whisper White Cardstock with a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Pop of Pink collection. Basic black banner and Melon Mambo circle. All finished off with some rhinestones for a bit of bling. I thought the banner was looking a little sad so I scored some lines on it to give it a bit of character not something I have done before but I think it works.

Thanks for stopping by today, don't forget to carrying on hopping!
