My husband's youngest sister's son is getting married in a few weeks, and a wedding card is needed. I bought the Stampin' Up Quilt Builder stamps and dies last fall, but have not had a chance to use them. I've had several ideas from Christmas to baby cards, but after thinking about it, I decided it might make up into a pretty wedding card. This would also fit right in to help finish one of my last two stragglers in the Splitcoaststamper Alphabet Challenge, Round 8. One of the stragglers is for letter Q, and using the quilt die would be perfect! My mind was already working on thoughts for the card's wedding verse inside. . .something involving marriage, the fabric of two lives woven together to make a fabulous quilt!
The newest Splitcoaststamper Inspiration Challenge is to visit the OPI nail polish website, and I saw some pretty nail art while browsing using cream and gold metallic nail art, which reminded me I could probably meet the Letter Q bonus challenge of Joss paper, which is a gold foil paper used in Chinese ancestral worship ceremonies.
After checking out several other Splitcoaststamper challenges, I had some great ideas and inspiration, and I was more than ready to begin. I thought a white or cream card using gold metallic papers in the quilt would make a really pretty wedding card and my possible verse running around in my head would pull it all together. Check out my finished card below, showing the outside and inside creations. I'm pretty happy with the results!
