In Love Forever

This has been a summer of many weddings for our family...and since I have recently been busy designing my own dd's wedding invitations, my stash of white and off white papers has grown considerably, making it easier for me to come up with cards for all the weddings we've been invited to. This tri-fold card is one I created for my cousin's daughter who got married this weekend in LA.

Heart shaped filigree window frame and cut out are from the Sweethearts cartridge, "forever" is from Home Decor, and banner from Wedding Solutions cartridge. Doves are an old 2x2 Quickutz die.I used an embossing folder from a Sizzix wedding set to emboss the base card and an embossing folder from the Cuttlebug Love Language Card Making Combo Set for the tiny heart pattern on the inner heart. Silver mylar sticker paper was used to cut the word "forever"...really loved how the Cricut cut through the mylar "like butter", similar to the way it cuts thru vinyl. After cutting, vinyl transfer tape made it so easy to transfer and position this intricate cut  onto its shadow.

Added a couple more doves to the inside of the card, this time with their wings trimmed and placed them on branches cut from the Stampin' Up bird punch. Flatback pearls and stickles for the heart and a simple flourish cut from the From the Nest cartridge to the sentiment were the finishing touches.
