Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge - SSC151

Can you believe it's been almost a year of Stamping 411?! Yep, next week is our One Year Anniversary and it's gonna be so fun - be sure to mark your calendars and check it out, ok?
For this week, we have this cool sketch from Selene, our sketch Queen! She said to use any shape, but I took the oval as it was to create my card.

I actually started with the focal point on this one, cutting an oval with the Ovals Die and my Big Shot using Glossy White cardstock. I then stamped the dress image from the Blissful Bride stamp set in Basic Black Craft ink and heat embossed it with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. I really adds a cool sparkle to the image in real life - it just didn't photograph well.
The ribbon treatment is done with the Whisper White Organza Ribbon which I dyed Pretty in Pink with my Sponge Dauber. I love that you can dye this ribbon easily with any color so this card would work for any wedding or bride.
I then used my Heat Tool again to ruffle it up the same way I did in this post here. Once it was ruffled, it was much easier to place around the back of the oval piece using Sticky Strip Adhesive. I then attached a second oval cardstock piece behind it with more Sticky Strip to secure the ribbon well.

Following the sketch, I added two layers of ribbon around the background piece. This is actually a piece of the Presto Patterns paper, the crosshatch design, but again, the photos don't show it well. Trust me, in real life, it adds so much texture to the card. I used the Silver Foil Smooch Spritz on that paper to add a little more glimmer to the card.
The ribbons are more of the dyed White Organza layered with a piece of Basic Gray Taffeta.
The Taffeta is also what I used for the bow accent, it's attached with Mini Glue Dots.

The greeting is stamped using Basic Gray ink on a piece of the Presto Patterns Paper and punched out with the Small Oval Punch. It's layered on a piece of Basic Gray cardstock punched out with the Large Oval Punch. I simply adhered this with SNAIL adhesive.

To create the inside, I used sticky notes and the Scallop Trim Border Punch to create a mask that I placed over a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I then used the Silver Foil Smooch Spritz again but only along the bottom of the card to create a fun border design.

A piece of Basic Gray Taffeta just above the smooched border finishes it off nicely and adds another touch of elegance to the inside.
