Wedding Day Wishes

My son asked me to make a card for a friend's wedding at the end of August. Several new items from Papertrey Ink were sitting on my desk so I decided to incorporate them into the design. The wedding invitations had a white and deep burgundy colour scheme, so that was the colour inspiration for this card:

I'm really loving the new Vineyard Impression Plate from PTI.
It's so detailed and adds a lot of dimension to a clean and simple card.

Front  Details:  (all PTI unless noted)
~Scarlet Jewel card base
~Vineyard Impression Plate on Stamper's Select White card stock
~Leafy Vine Border using Scarlet Jewel; edges of vine were sponged with Fresh Snow ink.
~DayDreamer images stamped with Close to My Heart Vineyard and Garden Green Inks
~The flowers were hand cut and added with foam dimensionals. 
~Mini white pearls  (Kaisercraft) were added to each flower image.
~Sentiment panel was made with the  Friendship Jar Label die and frame stamp.
~Sentiment from Delighful Dahlia.


Here's the inside of the card:



Inside Details:
I used a sentiment  from Day Dreamer and then repeated the 
floral images from the card front in Vineyard and Garden Green.

Thanks for visiting today. Have a great week.

So beautiful. I think I need to get that IP. Somehow, it has escaped my notice, until just now. Very striking.

I love the look of dry embossing for wedding cards... so elegant and lovely!

Just flawless. I think it is so clever and thoughtful of you to incorporate the burgundy. It is so ruch and luxe not to mention works so wonderfully with the white. Even though I just ordered at release time, I now feel itchy to place another one because Daydreamer is now callin' my name. Ugh!
