This was an easy challenge for me, as I was about to head to my nephew's wedding! It's fun to use graduation or wedding invitations as inspiration for the card. As soon as I received the invitation, I knew Taylored Expressions Modern Eucalyptus would be perfect.
I had already used the Foil It cards that nearly match the double frame. Luckily, I have Paper Smooches Geo Frame die which I've never used.
I began by using the layering stencils with these inks: Altenew Rocky Shore and Forest Glades and PTI Ripe Avocado and Ocean Tides. Then I used the matching dies to cut out the 2 branches. I inked the frame with the beautiful, shimmery Delicata Rose Gold, since I knew soft pink was one of the bride's colors. The sentiment from TE Scripted Sentiments was stamped 3 times with Rocky Shore and then with Versamark, so I could add clear embossing powder. I splattered lightly with Rocky Shore. It's hard to see in the pictures, but makes a huge difference in person. 
I decided it needed a little something more, so vellum leaves to the rescue! These are from PFS Dainty Blossoms. All the challenge details and wonderful inspiration from my teammates and our guest designer can be found at Time Out Challenges.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
The vellum adds lovely extra interest and how nice to create the wedding card to reflect the invitations.
