pearlescent scrapbook paperI started off with a sheet of scrapbook paper which I cut to fit a sheet of A4 card which would be folded in half. I used Diecuts with a View Luxury 12 Inch by 12 Inch Paper Stack. At this point I considered adding some glitter but decided that the pattern was nice enough as it is.

You may decide to jazz up your scrapbook paper depending on how it looks to start with.

embossing a stamped imageI used a deep red ink pad because I felt it would work well with the colours of the background paper. I used a clear embossing powder to create the raised embossed image in order that the red ink could be seen better.

For this handmade card idea I have left the wording simple. I placed a peel off sticker with the wording ‘congratulations’. If you do not have one to hand you could try printing your wedding card sayings using a computer.

This will allow you to change both the font and size of the wedding card verse to your own preference.
