Teah Woodward: Delightful Wishes Wedding Card

Delightful Wishes Wedding Card

One of the very best things about hand crafting cards, is that I can customize my cards for my family and friends. In other words, I can pour sentimentality, color schemes, themes, etc.... into my cards.

In the coming days, my nephew and his fiancè will be married. I've agonized over this wedding because even though it is only a few hours from my home, I am unable to attend. I'm just not healed enough from my recent back surgery. I've never missed a graduation, play, wedding, or other special occasion that included my nephews or niece; so this is particularly hard on me this time.

To get over my disappointment of not attending, I poured so much love into this card! The happy couple is getting married outside, so I put a lot of thought into my floral portion of my focal point.

To create depth, I stacked the vellum flowers. Below you will find the complete tutorial. This was a fairly easy card to make...... not quick, just easy. At the end of this post you will find the complete list of products used.

Stacked View #1

Stacked view #2

In stacked view #1, you can see that there are 3 layers of the same flower. First layer is adhered to the card front. 2nd layer is adhered using one mini dimensional in the middle of the flower. The petals are aligned. 3rd layer is adhered the same as the 2nd layer.

In stacked view #2, you can see that the flowers are not all the same height. Some are single layer, adhered to the card front using a mini glue dot in the middle of the flower. Some are double layer, with the 2nd layer being adhered using a mini dimensional in the center of the second flower. Then as seen in stacked view #1, some flowers have 3 layers.
