Watercolored Wedding Card


I needed to add a few wedding cards to my stash so I started by making this one. I began with a piece of watercolor paper sponged with worn lipstick distress oxide ink. I added water until I liked the results, then die cut it with a stitched heart. I also die-cut the Spellbinders Love Vine from white and placed that in the center of the watercolored heart. I used a MFT fishtail banner die for the SU! sentiment, embossing it with gold; then made 2 wedding rings from gold mirror cardstock by die cutting them with a Memory Box Loopy Rings die. I added a tiny white bow to the top of them and embossed the background with a Sizzix (TH) damask embossing folder.

I'm sharing this with the following challenges:

anything goes with an optional twist of gold

What a beautiful wedding card! I love the addition of the little gold rings a lot. I need to think about adding one of those dies to my collection. I tend to make Black and White wedding cards I really need to start adding some color. This is so pretty! Great job!!
