Wishing You All the Best Wedding Card

I needed a couple of wedding cards for my 2 nieces who are getting married soon, so I followed a tutorial by Jackie Bolhuis here: Easy Fun Fold Card Template (Use Any Stamps, Ink & Paper) to make 2 fun fold wedding cards that are also a part of the Altenew Educator Instagram Hop starting today. My IG account is @carriesheridan.70 if you'd like to follow me and participate in the hop for a chance to win Altenew gift cards. 

For the front of the card, I die cut Altenew's Lace Die out of the same green cardstock I used for those panels and trimmed it, so it covered the left and right panels to add some pretty texture to them. 

For the teal blue focal point, I die cut two shades of teal cardstock using Altenew's Ornate Nesting Die Set and decorated them with 2 flowers I die cut using Altenew's Darling Dahlia Die Set. The "wishing you all the best" sentiment is from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Fruits & Flowers project kit. I used the coordinating die to die cut a few layers to stack behind the stamped sentiment for dimension. I added some Nuvo drops to the flower centers for a bit of shine and dimension. 

For the inside of the card, I stenciled Altenew's Lattice Blossoms stencil with Altenew's Autumn Blaze ink onto a panel of orange cardstock. 

For the center of the card, I used the same shades of teal cardstock to die cut 2 rectangles using Gina Marie Design's Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die Set. I embossed the smaller rectangle using Altenew's Enchanted Beginnings 3D embossing folder and used the coordinating stencil to add a bit of tone-on-tone ink blending to the bride and groom. If you are looking for an easy and elegant embossing folder for wedding cards, I highly recommend this one. 

To finish the card, I added a small bit of the Lace die cut and stamped "congratulations" from Altenew's Flourishing Bouquet stamp set to the inside panel below the embossed bride and groom. I love the font for the elegant sentiments in that set.
