A bespoke Sunflower Wedding Card

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

This week, I had the privelege of creating a wedding card to order.  The brief was Sunflower Theme and Cream.  

I've added a bunch of Gold Foil accents and used one of my favourite fun folds to add a 'wow' on the inside of the card.  

Here's the video showing the basics of this fun fold with the pop inside.

Because this was a wedding card, I used a Very Vanilla card base of 6" x 12" and scored it at 3", 6" and 9" for the concertina.  My panels of Wild Wheat are all 5 3/4 " x 2 3/4" and there are 6 of them.

All the Designer paper is 5 1/2 " x 2 1/2" and there are 2 different designs with 2 pieces each, and then I have the 2 writing panels of Very Vanilla at 5 1/2" x 2 1/2".

For the stamping I have used Wild Wheat ink and:  Cheerful Daisies, Something Fancy, Everyday Greetings and Heartfelt Hexagon stamp sets.  The flowers were filled with Crushed Curry ink and Copper Clay ink.  I have also used a blending brush and Crushed Curry ink to give the flowers more fullness after being die cut with the Cheerful Daisies dies.  

On the front of the card I've added some Metallic Enamel Effects for the flower centres.  And the leaves are cut from Gold Foil using the Stippled Roses dies.  The front and inside feature panels are cut from the largest Nested Essentials dies.  

I've also stamped some flowers and leaves for the envelope.  The leaves come from the Regal Flora stamp set and coordinating die set.  

It's always a pleasure to create a bespoke card, and I hope the newly married couple love it too!!
