I made this Wedding card for the SCS Clean & Simple CAS Challenge of 'Love' from 2nd Feb this year - & it can be for an Anniversary, Wedding, I love you, Valentines - anything with LOVE in mind. There are no time limits to play SCS Challenges so you can play anytime - and as I have hardly made any cards this year due to illness, I have it in mind to try & play some of the SCS Challenges that I have missed. Please see this link for more details on the challenge---> CAS310 - 2/2/15 - Love is in the Air by ohmypaper! at Splitcoaststampers
First off, I worked out whereabouts on the card I was going to put my cord then made two pencil lines about 1/2" apart so that I knew exactly where to do the dry embossing which is an embossing folder by Craft Concepts - Budding Vine. I then used my Martha Stewart Score Board to score a line right above and underneath the dry embossing. I really love how the score line just "finishes" the dry embossing edge.
I used a Corner Chomper on the 1/2" setting to round the bottom corners then tied on the silver cord (which came from my local supermarket last Christmas). I added Fray Stop to the cut ends to stop them from fraying and added a dot of Super Glue to the knot to stop the cord from coming undone. I attached the dry embossed panel to a top-opening white cardstock base by using lots of doublesided tape and a bit of Tombow Mono Multi glue (less surface area from the dry embossing = need more adhesive!) then trimmed the bottom and side edges to 1/16" using my Perfect Layers Tools. I rounded the bottom corners using the same 1/2" setting on the Corner Chomper.
The sentiment panel was diecut using a Spellbinders Nestabilities Floral Ovals die (I used the 2nd largest die) & my Big Shot. The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp set - Sending and Wishing and was stamped with my MISTI using Versamark Watermark ink and heat-set using Ranger Silver Superfine embossing powder. I attached the sentiment panel using dimensionals.
Lastly, I punched a heart from pink glitter cardstock using a Carl CP-1 Heart punch. Initially, I had punched a red glitter cardstock heart but decided to go for a softer look by using the pink instead.
Finished size is 5 inches x 5 inches or 127mm x 127mm.

This card is so pretty. I love the bg ef, and the tiny pink heart and bow, are the perfect additions. I'm glad to see you are feeling well enough, to do some challenges. Have fun, and tfs.
