Wedding Card

Posted on July 26, 2020July 16, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet wedding card made for my daughter and her new husband following their marriage yesterday. Like many other couples this year their wedding was postponed due to coronavirus – then at the beginning of July the Church of England announced that simple socially distanced weddings could take place if the church had already been booked – so we were on again….. so exciting.

Camilla and Dom had 10 guest at the wedding instead of the 100 originally planned, no choir or singing, no bridesmaids, best man and no reception as large get togethers are still forbidden. Basically they could have the legal part of the marriage performed. Camilla chose not to wear her wedding dress, she is going to wear it when the have a church blessing followed by the reception in 2 years time.

The colour scheme for the card was inspired by Camilla’s white wedding dress with a little silver beading and the dresses for her 2 bridesmaids which are in a deep purple.

To recreate the wedding card you will need:

Gorgeous Grape card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – Rounded upper left corner x 2
Gorgeous Grape 4” by 4”
Silver Foil – 4” by 4”
Highland Heather – 4” by 4”
Scrap Whisper White and Gorgeous Grape

I stamped the sentiment from the Arrange a Wreath stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink onto one of the Whisper White panels . The panel was then embossed using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder and adhered to the Gorgeous Grape card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty wedding card made using the Arrange a Wreath stamp set and Wreath dies

Using the more detailed of the Wreath Dies I cut a wreath form the Gorgeous Grape square and the Silver Foil square. These were adhered together with the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty wedding card made using the Arrange a Wreath stamp set and Wreath dies

I die cut the larger leaf die from the Highland Heather card stock square and added it over top of the detailed wreaths with the liquid adhesive. The full wreath was then added to the card front on Mini Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty wedding card made using the Arrange a Wreath stamp set and Wreath dies

From scrap Whisper White card I die cut the larger flower to represent the bride and the 2 smaller flowers were cut from the Gorgeous Grape scrap card to represent the bridesmaids. These were added to the wreath using Glue Dots.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty wedding card made using the Arrange a Wreath stamp set and Wreath dies
