Tonight I have sat and made a few basic men's cards for my stash as it was running quite low.
The little creation pictured is one I did earlier in the week. I am not ashamed to admit that I really really love this LOTV stamp!
I steered clear of any designer papers opting just to use white card and decided to just try using different textured cardstock and embossing folders to see if I could produce a layered effect. I'm getting quite brave and stamped direct onto bright white card. The stanped images were then cut out with the large die and I coloured the stamp with promarkers and distress inks. I used a white textured paper for the larger die then used the 'textile' embossing folder for the third layer. All of the layers are mounted onto 'snow white fine grain' textured card.
The papers were all 'brushed' with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and the edges of the various layers were also inked as was the die cut flourish. The addition of the blue organza bow, the flowers and the blue pearls finished the card - but I couldn't resist running some stickles round the edge of the main die or dabbing it onto the detail of the little girl's dress!

Hi Viv
A gorgeous make. I too love this image very much and struggle not to grab it everytime I make a wedding card LOL!!
Love how you have kept the background all white and gone for embossing instead of design papers. A great look.
