good morning! today is the day! papertrey ink stamp-a-faire has arrived and it's time to jump right in with the first challenge of the morning, the bridal challenge...
Here's comes the bride, all dressed in white. Except in this case, it's a wedding card that you will be presenting using nothing but white supplies. The only exception to the rule is that you are allowed to use a neutral ink color (black, gray, brown, etc...) to add a stamped sentiment to the card.
i typically use a lot of white on white, but with pops of color, so i was really excited to play along and work more with texture in the absence of color. i decided to use cover plate: modern cross quilt to create a stencil for a pearlescent embossing paste background. in person, it looks like mother of pearl adhered to the card - so cool and so tactile! once it dried, i added two polka dot vellum butterflies from life is beautiful die collection. i stuck only the bodies down, so i could lift of the wings a bit for added depth. a few rainstones finish them off nicely and help detract from the glue below. and finally i added a sentiment in smokey shadow on a strip of card stock adhered right over a full row of crosses. challenge complete! now it's your turn - enjoy the team's bridal runway and then break out your wedding whites...
