Evening Invitation card

Description

A pearlescent blue deckle edge greetings card has a heart motif stamped in gold on white Mulberry paper. Sparkle is added with crystal glitter. An Evening Invitation sticker completes the design. The card was designed to be part of a wedding invitation set.

Materials used

• Pearlescent blue deckle edge greetings card 104mm x 152mm (4¼ in x 6 in)
• Mulberry paper white
• Rubber stamp De Nami Stamps F134 Heart Block
• Encore Ultimate Metallic Ink Pad Gold
• Crystal Ultra-Fine glitter
• Glue pen
• Blue felt tip pen
• Gold sticker Evening Invitation
• Adhesive

Method

Tear a rectangle of white Mulberry paper and fix it to the greetings card with adhesive. You will have more control over how the Mulberry paper tears if you draw the outline on it in water using a watercolour paint brush. You can then pull the paper apart leaving an attractive rough edge.

Stamp the Heart Block design on the Mulberry paper using Encore Ultimate Metallic Gold Ink.

Add small blue dots to the outer box part of the heard design with a felt tip pen.

Draw inside the gold heart with a glue pen and sprinkle with Crystal Ultra-Fine glitter.

Add an Evening Invitation sticker.
