Good Morning. We have some exciting news. Our oldest granddaughter will be getting married soon. I wanted to create a 'different' type wedding card for her. I decided to use the instructions on how Susan created a Spring Hat on her FaceBook video. I decorated the 'hat' card to resemble a wedding cake.
To decorate the top of the card, I wanted to use the wedding colors, which are blue and gray. The bottom layer on the base of the top was covered with a piece of pearlized white card stock. On top of that is a smaller scalloped white circle. For the raised 'cake', I covered the side with a border crisscross die cut, then a very narrow scallop die cut around the bottom edge. On the top, I added a silver die cut doily. I used silver metallic card stock for the gray to give it an elegant appearance. I created two white roses and a rose bud, using Susan's Hybrid Rose die set. For blue, I used Susan's Forget-Me-Not die set and created the blue flowers. Around the sides of the 'cake' I added small pieces of ivy leaves, that were die cut using Susan's Ferns & Ivy die set and attached additional Forget-Me-Not flowers.
I did not have any wedding dies or stamps. I dug through some of my stash and found silver wedding stickers. They worked out perfect. The edge of the card was too plain, so I added dot silver stickers all the way around.
Silver stickers were used to decorate the inside of the card.

I had fun coming up with something different for her wedding card.
