This is for today's sketch challenge, as well as a double dare challenge I do each week with some SCS friends. For our double dare challenge, we were to make an elegant wedding card.
I first embossed my white cs with the Cuttlebug embossing folder and then I applied pearlized Lumiere and dazzling diamonds to that for the right side of the card. For the left side, I embossed vellum with that same embossing folder and adhered that to a piece of the Almost Amethyst cs.
The rosette flowers and pearl stick pins are some I picked up at Walmart. Can you see the dazzling diamonds and organdy ribbon?

Hi Charlene! Whoa! What a shimmery beauty! The special techniques on your 2 embossed panels really sets this card apart from others! It is certainly a lovely card embellished with feminine pretties and will delight someone, I'm sure!
