I received this very feminine swap from Vicki. She used the Sizzix to create some texture on the back white layer. This would definitely be a great card for a wedding.

Card Of The Day:

Tuesday - March 10, 2009

This lovely card that Vicki created uses Pretty in Pink, Pirouette Pink, White & Creamy Caramel. I would never have come up with that combo, but it's one that works wonderfully. The "Oval All" stamp set was used to stamp "Best Wishes" in caramel ink before it was punched out with the large oval punch. A pink scallop oval was punched out to mat the greeting on with a couple of Stampin' dimensionals. A strip of white paper was wheeled with the "So Swirly" jumbo wheel after inking it up on the Pink Pirouette ink pad. A larger Creamy Caramel strip was punched with the Eyelet border punch on both long edges to form a lacy mat for the swirly strip. All of these parts were adhered to a piece of Whisper White card stock that was embossed with the Big Shot and Baroque swirls Texturz plate. The card front was then finally mounted onto a Pretty in Pink card. (Sorry, this card is a little washed out from the scanner - it looks a lot better in real life!)
