Wedding Toast
My dear friends are celebrating their 50th Wedding anniversary... This card was designed to meet a challenge on the Hallmark Scrapbook Messageboard, and the challenge came just in time for what I needed. I used the Wedding cartridge, and the paper is from the Joann's Metallic Pak. I ran the gold paper thru the Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, and when I cut the Toasting Glasses from the cartridge, I cut the wedding couple as well. I had a hard time with the glasses, and finally I cut the shadow in a linen color and the glasses in a white cardstock. Although it doesn't show, I used transparency sheet for the top layer of the glasses. The bride has three layers of dress, and I added a white bow for the dress back and the glasses.
