Mediterranean Achievers Blog Hop March

Welcome to another Mediterranean Achievers Blog Hop - our theme this month is "Wedding Dreams"

My eldest child's former teacher got married last weekend and since she was his teacher for 2 years in a row, we really wanted to give her a congratulations card.  When she returns from her honeymoon he can take this card to school to give to her.  She is such a sweet young lady and we loved having her as his teacher.

Since she is young and trendy, I didn't want to go too old-fashioned or shabby chic etc.  I wanted to keep it clean and simple and include some bling!
I also didn't really have too much in the way of specific wedding stamps so I actually did NO STAMPING on this card! OMG!

I've used the Expressions Natural Elements for the sentiment.  I tried out a few different options for colouring it and adding some sparkle. I settled on the bottom option - emboss with Whisper White embossing powder and then add Clear Wink of Stella over the top.

It is a little difficult to capture the sparkles on camera - always much prettier in real life - but hopefully this photo below gives you an idea of how each option looks.

The materials and tools I used for this card were:

* Shimmer White card stock (card base)

* Gold glimmer paper (layer and heart)

* Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack (earned free with a $90 sale-a-bration order)

* Mini Treat Bag Thinlits dies (for the heart - the sweetheart punch was too small for what I wanted)

* Expressions Natural Elements (sentiment)

* Whisper White craft ink and embossing powder

* Heat Tool

* Clear Wink of Stella brush

I hope you enjoyed my project. Enjoy the rest of the blog hop!
