I really love the #5267 Floral Invites stamp set. This is a big set of gorgeous flowers and greenery. Although the set comes with invitation sentiments like You're Invited, Save the Date, RSVP etc., it also comes with a Thank You sentiment which I used for this card.
The striped background was created with gilding flakes and extra fine glitter. I applied a double sided adhesive sheet to white cardstock and cut it out using the largest 5682 - Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched die. After peeling the backer off, I applied a watercolor striped stencil to it. Then I rubbed in copper gilding flakes into the exposed adhesive not covered with the stencil. Once complete, I peeled off the stencil and applied green glitter to the remaining exposed adhesive. The glitter worked beautifully but not enough stuck to get the dark color I was hoping for. To compensate, I applied more wet glue on the stripes and reapplied the glitter. The result is a pretty shabby chic background that is perfect for the beautiful wreath stamp and Thank You sentiment. The gilding is such a great finish. The more you polish them with your fingers towel, the more it shines. It's kind of amazing actually!
After coloring the wreath, I added some Kendra Dots from the 5418 - Bible Foliage Set 2 and then fussy cut it out. I applied foam squares on the wreath and placed it on the card. I heat embossed the Thank You sentiment with green embossing powder and glued it to the wreath. I glued the finished panel on an A2 black and white polka dot card base. The final step was to add some matching blue half back pearls. Perfect!
