I needed an elegant wedding card this week for a family member. The new Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder was just perfect for such an occasion. Paired with our rich Elegant Eggplant – the bride’s color, and our gorgeous Shimmery White card stock, this card definitely hits the mark.
Creative Tips –
- I created a beautiful shimmery Baroque paper using the Bisque Pottery Technique and the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Ink Pad.
- Use the brayer to color the top portion of your Embossing Folder with the Illuminate Pad, place your Elegant Eggplant cardstock on the lower piece of the folder, close and emboss. The result is a gorgeous shimmery result that looks like velvet.
- To pair the rich embossed piece, I used our Shimmery White card stock. It’s a wedding after all!
- The greeting is embossed in Silver and I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels at the top for some added elegant finishing touches.
- I normally don’t do bows – they’re big and bulky, but with this being a wedding card, my go to knot isn’t going to cut it – don’t think I didn’t try…lol! It would be cute, no – tying the knot? Michael would have questioned it, so I went with the bow. To get it exactly where I wanted it, I attached a piece of Ribbon first, anchored my cardstock onto the card and then used a separate piece to tie the knot. You can also completely tie it separately and attach it with a Glue Dot. That didn’t work for me this time, so I tied it.
The end result is a gorgeous rich textured card. This card is 5”x7”, and since we’re sending a check along as we can’t attend this one, I wanted to send a special card. I’m actually quite sad we can’t go to this one.

stunning; now that SU has this illuminate ink, I think we’ll see more of the elegant eggplant c.s…tfs!!
You aren’t kidding Sue! I’ve had it and have to admit, haven’t really used it much. From seeing what it does to this card – I’m sold! It’s gorgeous! 🙂
Very Elegant card! I love the embossing you did on it. This card really just pops! I also love the pearls in the upper corners. I’m sure the couple will LOVE it!
I think she will too – plus it’s in her colors. 🙂 It’s amazing that it looks like velvet – the Illuminate Pad really looks better than I expected it to. Wait till you see it in real life – it’s just gorgeous. 🙂
