Hi Stampers

What a fun day at work today.   One of “us” (not me) is retiring at the end of March.   We piled into a limo, drank some bubbly and went for lunch.    At the restaurant there was a small group waiting for us to help celebrate the Retirement.     Of course on the way back to work – there was some more bubbly in the limo.     We all agreed ….. we could get use to being chauffeured around.    But… back to reality.

Tomorrow night is the last “Wetlands” class….. and I am all ready for them.

But tonight, I want to show you an uber elegant Wedding card using the Love & Laughter stamp set.     Isn’t this G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!   I have to admit the picture does not do it justice.

It is a 5×5 card.   I embossed the dress in gold, then put a layer of vellum over it.    I then embossed the Congratulations in Gold and added some B-L-I-N-G.       I used Swarovski Hot Fix Crystals.     I then mounted it onto Sahara Sand card stock.   It is so elegant and clean.

Who needs / wants a tip on hiding the vellum adhesive?.

I cut the vellum 1/2″ taller than the card front.     I scored the vellum at the 1/2″ mark and added a strip of regular adhesive to the back of the card front (at the top).    Then I adhered the vellum (wrapping the 1/2″ overlap to the back of the card front).   After I added the Hot Fix Crystals…. I added a small drop of the Mono Multi Liquid Glue under the crystals to adhere the vellum to the card front – just to keep it down.   You don’t have to do that, but I thought it finished it off just a bit.    The pictures below are not the greatest but I think you will get the idea.
