On Your Special Day

Just a little lagniappe for you today.
Margaret and I are both posting!!!

I made this card a couple of days ago and the sketch challenge ends tonight so here it is.


I used Canson specialty papers in gold and white.  They are quite shimmery in person.  I embossed the white band with a Sizzix folder.  The stamps are from JustRite and I used Encore Metallic Gold ink.  A Spellbinders die was used to cut out the design and an EK punch for the sentiment, which is popped up on foam tape.  The ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

I used the sketch at Tuesday Morning.  It has an elegant look to it.

I am also entering the following challenges:

Stamp-n-doodle - wedding
Twist of Faith - anniversary
Seemacrafts - monochrome

Thanks for stopping by!!!

  9. Kathy,
    Thanks so much for playing along at Stamp 'n' Doodle in our Wedding Challenge!
    The shimmer on the paper shows up quite nicely in the photo and was a fantastic choice for your card. I especially like the way you popped the sentiment off of its frame...nice touch!
