...and the bride wore white.

Hello and welcome to my Saturday post for Our Creative Corner.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Our hostess this week, Sharon Wheet, has such a sweet challenge for us.  We are to make a wedding card or other paper craft project but she has given us a recipe of what is to be included.  First it is to be soft and elegant, then you are to include a sheer fabric such as organza or tulle, some kind of trim such as ribbon, lace, baker's twine or crocheted trim, a flower, at least one pearl and some stitching (real or faux).  Wow, what a delicious recipe.  I couldn't wait to get started on this one!

Here's what I did:  I wanted it to be all white on white, but then rethought it and decided to include one slim layer of black to give it a little kick.  I applied a bit of my UTEE/gold EP mix around the edge to bring in the gold.  The white layer is embossed with an SU embossing folder.  Along the bottom, under the flower and bow, I ran a strip of very fine white tulle - it's actually four layers of tulle, stretched and secured at the back.  Across the tulle, I ran a length of that amazing embroidered lace.  Added one of my favorite crinoline flowers (tutorial here), tied a bow of the lace and inserted a gold and pearl stick pin through a tag to secure it.  I topped it off with a his and hers heart set.  It's really a pretty simple card for me - not as much layering as I usually do, but I wanted to give the embellishments the staring role.  Most of these embellishments can be found in my Etsy store as follows:
Venise Lace Hearts
Crinoline
Embroidered Sheer Lace (brand new in the shop and completely gorgeous!)
Stick Pins
Rosebud Appliques

That's it for this week's Saturday post.  I hope you will join in the fun with us this week at Our Creative Corner.
