Sentiments
In this card, the beautiful calligraphy by Paul Antonio takes center stage. I foiled the BetterPress Plate On Your Wedding Day in Glimmer Skybright Foil on Hammermill cardstock.
I cut down the sentiment panel with one of the frames in the Cross Stitch Nested Card Front Die Set. Then I added some Accent Opaque to the back and foam tape behind that.
The subsentiment I BetterPressed with Distress Oxide in Tumbled Glass. It’s part of the February 2025 BetterPress Kit, Luxe Damask. It also includes a coordinating die. So that’s what I used to cut it out with. I cut a couple of extra die cuts and stacked them behind the subsentiment for dimension.
Background
Looking around for a suitable texture to add to the background, I fell upon the March Embossing Folder of the Month, Mosaic Memories. In white it got a bit lost under the big sentiment panel. So I ink blended it with Distress Oxide in Tumbled Glass, starting at the center and working outwards.
Then I glued it to the front of my A2 notecard.
Assembly
I adhered the sentiment panel to the embossed card front with foam tape. Next I was going to glue the subsentiment below the main sentiment. But it looked a bit lonely there. So I die cut a sprig of flowers from the Vivid Blooms Die Set. I cut it apart and gave it a dusting of Tumbled Glass. Then I glued them to the sentiment panel and glued the subsentiment on top.
I finished off the card by adding some Essential Pearl Dots in Oyster to the flower centers.
