I have a special one today for the new “Special Day” challenge at Double Trouble!  This wedding card is for a sweet family friend who just tied the knot💕

The recipe by Thing 1 is

3 layers (your card base can count on this round)

2 shapes or images (I put the wedding cake on an oval, inside the center arch of my embossing folder)

1 stenciled or embossed element (I did a 3D embossing folder)

Thing 3 gives the option of using flowers.  That’s my favorite kind of card to make! The main flowers on mine are the ones in the dry embossing folder that I used.  It’s such a pretty one by Spellbinders!  I brushed white ink over it to make it stand out even more

As I looked at different challenges going on – another one inspired me – the As You Like It Challenge. Their prompt was “Do you prefer brights or pastels and why?” It’s always pastels for me and it’s because I love soft or muted colors in my card making!  I don’t branch out to bright colors very often (but sometimes a challenge will get me out of that box!)

The pretty cake is from Altenew and I colored it in the soft blue, pink, and peach pastel colors

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you will join us at Double Trouble for our “Special Day” challenge
