Now Let's get into these cards!
Since the nicer weather brings us wedding season I thought the Celebrate in Style would be a great way to knockout a few wedding cards! I wanted them to be interesting but elegant so I limited my color palette and kept to traditional shapes.
I started by stamping down these fabulous modern cakes and then getting into shading them with ink blending. The stencils line up super easy and make it so quick to custom color a card to match wedding colors. I'm super matchy matchy so that's a win for me!
I then used some black hot foil for my Modern Script Sentiments and a really pretty and VERY subtle Opal foil for the Stained Glass Hot Foil background. The foil adds interest and shine to the background without competing with the main focal point. If you're not into foil you can achieve a similar look by using the Stained Glass Die and using it tone on tone or even doing a die cut out of some glossy cardstock would add shine without the foil.
I used the Solid Hot Foil Plate to use up the negative and create a second background. Because the foil is so subtle it was next to impossible to capture it on camera though in real life it's gorgeous. It's soft shimmery rainbows. At an angle you can kinda-sorta see it in the above picture. Maybe? lol. You let me know!
I used the Nested Hexagons and Nested Diamonds to trim out my foil pieces for my focal points. You know what that means? I have 2 more pieces to make cards with!
You can watch both cards come together in the video below. Except for the hot foiling background, the film gremlins made off with that part unfortunately.
Thanks so much for dropping by! I hope you found a little inspiration!
