Today I have a gorgeous wedding card to share with you that I have created using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2019 – Graceful Concertina. This is a stunning die and is designed with tabs on one side that you can use to create concertina cards, votive holders and much more. When I looked at the die I was reminded of a wedding arch and trellis and this quickly became a wedding card with pretty flowers climbing up the sides.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
To make my card I made a side folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of gold cardstock 5″ x 7″ and added it to the front of the card base. I cut a piece of cream cardstock slightly smaller and scored down the long side ever 1/16″ using my scoreboard before adding this to the front of the card.
I die cut two outer decorative frames – one out of gold cardstock and one out of cream cardstock. After trimming of the tabs I adhered the gold frame behind the cream frame slightly offsetting the gold frame and adhered it to the front of the card. I used the gold inner and adhered it to the inside of the frame and then die cut 3 decorative inner panels out of cream cardstock. These were stacked together and added over the gold panel.
To make the floral spray I die cut the small leaf flourishes out of green cardstock from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Dies and aded them around the frame. I die cut the small buds out of pink cardstock and sponged the ends with Lemon Whip and Peony inks before adding them to the leaf flourishes. I added the sepals made from green cardstock.
For the flowers I have used the small flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Dies. I have used flower shaping paper and coloured them with Lemon Whip and Peony inks and after shaping them I added some Heart of Gold Prills to the centres of the flowers before adding them to the leaf flourishes.
I die cut three ‘Congrats’ sentiments out of cream cardstock and stacked them together before adding them to the top of the inner panel as shown.
To finish I added some pearls to the decorative dies and at the corners at the top of the card.
