Lots of Hearts Wedding Congratulations

Lots of Hearts Wedding Congratulations
Made this card for one of my husband biker buddy who is having his wedding and dinner reception at Avillion Port Dickson. Initially only my husband will attend but after some confirmation and all, we decided to go as family. We also would like to take the opportunity to take the kids to the beach as promised.

Fusion Card Challenge - Something Blue
I am adopting the both the photo inspiration and sketch from Fusion Card Challenge - Something Blue as shown above even the challenge date has been past due. The photo just remind me of wedding cake.

Close-up: The groom and bride representative hearts
First, I stamp the hearts onto a trimmed white card stock and emboss them in gold embossing powder. Then, the background is distressed while leaving the hearts blank. The heart on the left is colored with blue to represent groom while the heart on the right colored in red to represent bride. I am using distress colors to color these hearts.

A washi tape that have red hearts pattern is attached onto a card yellow base as shown in the sketch follow by an alternate pink and red border sticker. The hearts background is then attach onto these strips using dimensional foam as shown in the sketch.

Close-up: Sentiment in embossed gold
The sentiment is stamped on a red strip and emboss using gold embossing powder as well. The strip is fish-tailed at the right end and layered onto the background as in sketch.

Close-up: Shimmers on the hearts
As final touch, some shimmers are added to the hearts as they are the main focus. Two (2) gems are added to the beginning and ending of the sentiment.

Dimension : 21.5cm x 10cm or 8.5" x 4"
Type : Top fold
