Golden Wedded Bliss {PP198}

Hi all--I'm back from vacation!  We had a wonderful time touring Italy for two weeks.  Oh my, what a gorgeous country.  I'll have some photos to share soon but for now it was all I could do to squeeze a DT card out of my stamping-deprived brain.  This week sassy Sandy is our hostess for a Theme Challenge over at The Paper Players:

Wedded Bliss could apply to anniversary cards as well (at least we hope it's blissful!) and since I am in more need of those than wedding cards, I went with it!

 

Even though this stamp set (This Day Forward) is retiring, I will hold on to it because this image is so pretty--especially embossed in gold.  You might remember this card I made with it for a very special couple.   Once I embossed the image in gold, there was no stopping all the golden elements on this card.  Gold embossed vellum, brushed gold cardstock, gold embossed sentiment and gold baker's twine!  I discovered that the stripes on the embossed vellum are exactly the same width as SNAIL glue so I ran some SNAIL behind each gold striped to adhere it to the card base.  I thought that was very clever--haha!

Edit 6/1/14: I did mention that my brain is still on vacation, right?  I forgot to credit the fabulous sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for the inspiration of my layout!  Geesh!
