Wedding Card with Embossed Congrats Label.

Hello everyone. I am sharing a card today that I made for a wedding. It is a totally different style for me. Meaning no glitter or sparkling sequins. It was designed with a theme in mind that the two are marrying and moving to a new neighborhood as well. I guess it would also be a nice card for someone who just go a new home too. The card has a unique embossed label that I created as part of the sentiment. I finally used the city stamp set I mentioned in this previous post where I used just one of the stamps and mentioned I would be sharing a card soon using this artsy stamp set.. Although there isn’t a lot of white space it really is CAS. I originally was going to leave the sky as a blank white space but it seemed to be missing something. I do hope it is fitting for the AAA CAS game #90 embossing challenge. On with the card design and ingredients.

I made the heat embossed embellishment with a Sizzix die cut label frame from thin chip board. This was temporarily glued to a chip board handle to allow for easy handling and to protect the fingers. Covered the label with Versamark ink and Ranger liquid platinum embossing powder then heat embossed a few layers letting it cool between each. After the final layer I very quickly took the congrats rubber stamp and firmly pressed it into the warm label. Then removed the stamp after it cooled off and got this awesome metallic impression.

I stamped the scene with the Yellow Owl Workshop city stamp set that a found recently while out shopping with my daughter near her home. She knows how much I love crafting and brought me to a local art store. We spent quite a bit of time there. I picked up a few other items too. Now that is a shocker.

I used SSS Hybrid inks in holly hock, catnip, cloudy sky and wisteria, and Memento London fog and tuxedo black colored inks for stamping on a white card front. Cut some masks from post it notes and stamped the house a few times and a couple of trees to create the look of a neighborhood. The stamped sentiment from Hero Arts Congrats stamp and cut set and card base are both Neenah dessert storm card stock.
