Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed & Something Blue

In keeping with the blog challenge theme for Digi Doodle Studios of Ribbons and Pearls I figure what would fit this theme better than a bride.

Thankfully DDS has this beautiful little image called Blushing Bride, that is simply beautiful. The long flowing hair and flowers of her bouquet set the whole thing off.

You will need the following to make this card.
  • Blushing Bride Image trimmed to: 3 1/2" x 4 1/2"
  • Copic Markers (colors listed below)
  • Primsacolor Color Pencils (colors listed below)
  • Card Base 5 1/2" x 5 1/2"
  • White Card Stock 5 1/2" x 5 1/2"
  • White Embossed paper 5" x 4 7/16"
  • Pink Card stock 3 5/8" x 4 5/8"
  • Die-Namics Mini Delicate doilies
  • Die-namics Fancy Flourish
  • Die-namics Magical Mandala
  • Die-namics Stitched Circle Scallop Edge Frames
  • Nuvo Crystal Drops - Bubble Gum Blush
  • Adhesive Pearls
  • Distress Ink - Spun Sugar
  • Sheer Ribbon
  • Tacky glue

Add in some details by going over the vines and stems of the flowers with a white Gelli Pen.

Finally add some color to the background with
​B0000 and C1

Constructing the card.

Now that the image is all colored in, it is time to add in some details to the bouquet so we can begin construction of the card.
Using YG67 add in some details as stems.
​

Using R81 add in details to the roses and ribbon.
Picture
Glue down the roses and ribbon to the green base.  Add in some pearls to the flower centers for additional details that will fit in with the Ribbons and Pearls theme of the monthly challenge.

No we will work our 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" cardstock.  For this we will need a blending tool and Distress Ink - Spun Sugar.  

Blend from the top down about 1/3 of the way down and repeat from the bottom up.  This will leave you with a swatch of white right down the middle of your background.
Picture
Cut out one of each of the die cuts in white cardstock.  Them layout how you think your card will fit onto your background piece.  Once you have a general Idea you will being to glue down your items.  
Picture
Begin by glueing down your Mandala and Doily.
Picture
Next, partially glue down the Flourish as below.
Picture
Adhere your embossed paper. Ensure it is under the flourish.
Picture
Gently adhere the ribbon under the embossed paper.
Picture
Glue it down to the back side with double sided tape.
Picture
Glue your image down to the pink card stock so that it leaves a 1/8" boarder around your image.  Then you will use Tacky glue to set this down on top of the embossed paper ensuring that it is also under part of the flourish.  Once that is down, you will glue down the flourish onto the image. 
Picture

Picture
We are almost done.  We will now adhere down our Bouquet using tacky glue on top of the sheer ribbon in the lower right hand corner of your image (depicted below).
Picture
Next you will make a small bow using sheer ribbon.  Using double sided tape you will place a small amount on the ribbon of the bouquet and attach the hand made bow on top (depicted below).
Picture
Picture
Picture
Now all that you have left to do is attach the sentiment.  I made a small bride to be on a scallop circle die cut using my own hand lettering.  I then added in some additional touches with Nuvo Crystal drops to the sentiment and the upper right hand side of my image.   Once dried I set the whole thing on my card base.
Picture

Viola!  You are finished.

I hope that this was fun and informative for you all.  Please leave a comment.
