This is for the SC480 and, believe it or not, the WT471 chalkenge to use a button. The gold fan is actually a button with a loop in the back instead of holes. I never really plan cards, ideas just "pop" into my head and bother me until I make them. Wedding card ideas NEVER pop into my head, so I usually just buy them. My nephew is getting married in 5 days and I decided to just give it a try. Took out everything that seemed "weddingish" - gold, cream and white papers, vellum, pearls etc. The flowers are stamped on vellum, die cut with the matching die, colored with light colored copics, shapped, layered and a little inka cold was rubbed onto the edges. These flowers are difficult to make out of vellum. Got carried away with die cut flourishes, "after Christmas sale" ribbon, and pearls and ended up with an overly ornate wedding card. Note to self...buying wedding cards is a very good idea. TFL, Francie

But this is a wonderful wedding card! Those vellum flowers are totally amazing. I can imagine that they must have been fiddly to make. I just discovered yesterday that if I hold my heat gun too close to my new vellum it bubbles and blisters :-(.
The fan button is amazing. The practical side of me thinks that on a garment it would be very impractical, LOL - hard to get through the buttonhole, but on a card it's perfect, and looks great on that heart panel.
