Embossed Wedding Card


It's hard to see the detail in this wedding cake card.  This was inspired by the bride's wedding invitations that were done in black/white/ink scroll work.  So for her card I used a Melon Mambo card base a whisper white mat and then layered a black mat on top of that.  The cake is graduated layers of white rectangles and then the corners rounder punch was used on the top corners.  For the top two layers I used the scallop edge punch and the made a matching Melon Mambo layer to distinguish the layers.  The white cake layers used the hostess set from the 2011/2012 IB&C first with versamark then black embossing powder for a nice shine.  The flowers were punched with the Bitty shapes punch pack set and then the smallest basic pearl was used in the center of each flower.  I did "cup" the flower a little before adhering to give dimension.
