Detailed Gate Wedding Card

There are so many possibilities for creating cards/projects using the detailed Gate Thinlet die. Yesterday I posted a Christmas card; I have previously posted a Halloween card.  Today I am posting a wedding card made with this thinlet die.

This time the gate was die cut using gold foil paper.  The ends of the gate were also scored, burnished, and taped around the back of the  Whole Lot of Lovely DSP.  I also cut the gate down the middle so the gate could open.

Picking up the colours of the DSP, I built a wedding bouquet on  a 1 3/4" circle. Using the retired Petite Flower punch, flowers were punched in Powder Pink, Soft Sky, and Tangerine Tango. The leaves were die cut in Garden Green, using the Eclectic Layers Thinlet dies.  All edges were sponged with Basic Gray.
This bouquet was added to the gate using glue dots and to prevent it from sticking to the DSP
I punched an identical 1 3/4" circle punch which I adhered to the back of the circle on the other side of the gate.

On this picture is a close up of the wedding bouquet.
In the middle of each flower I added a gold foil punchie from the 1/8" hand held punch, and then a gold pearl on top of that.

I snipped between the petals of each flower and curled the edges up.  The edges of the leaves were also turned up.

The sentiment, from "Floral Phrases" is embossed in gold on Basic Black card stock, and adhered to the right gate edge.

Here the gate is opened.

Below is a picture of some of the elements I was able to cut out of this gate:

Oh So Eclectic Thank You

Finally I got a chance to play with one of my new stamps - Oh So Eclectic, using one on the glossy backgrounds I made earlier in the week.

You can just see the background along the sides and behind the die cut.

Here's a larger picture, made using the following reinkers and a water spritzer on glossy cardstock- Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party, and Perfect Plum. Some clear Wink of Stella was also added.

The larger flowers were stamped with Perfect Plum, with the outline stamp in Elegant Eggplant.  Some shading was added using the blender pen and Elegant Eggplant.  Although the centers were stamped and die cut separately, I coloured the centers of these flowers with Daffodil Delight anyway.

The smaller flowers were stamped with Black Memento and coloured with Pool Party and a blender pen. The stems were colored with Lemon lime Twist and Old Olive.

Clear Wink of Stella was added to all the flowers.

Three sets of leaves were first stamped with Lemon Lime twist and stamped over with Old Olive.

After die cutting all the elements using the Eclectic layers Thinlet Dies they were added to the card front with dimensionals.  Before doing this, I added some 3/8" Powder Pink shimmer ribbon along the left side.  A bow made from the ribbon was added to the lower left.

The sentiment, from the "Jar of Love" was white embossed on a piece of  Always Artichoke.

To finish off the card, I added 3 different sizes of glimmer enamel dots.
