I really like the Bella Bleu designer series paper and decided to carry on this week’s theme with Bella Bleu and Wedding Sweet.  This card, like the journal previously posted, uses the Bella Bleu designer series paper with Chocolate Chip ink and paper.

The following products are used to create

this beautiful wedding card:

• Sweet Swirls Wheel
• Chocolate Chip Craft Ink
• Chocolate Chip Cardstock
• Kraft Taffeta Ribbon
• Clear Embossing Powder
• Heat Gun
• SNAIL Adhesive
• Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper
• Wedding Sweet Stamp Set

Technique used: Heat Embossing

Instructions

1. Cut a 4-1/4 x 11 piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock to use as the main card.
2. Cut a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Bella Bleu designer series paper (DSP) that has more of a baroque pattern. 
3. Using Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, stamp the large floral/swirl image from the Wedding Sweet stamp set, then sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder and heat.
4. Cut a 1 x 5-1/4 piece of Bella Bleu DSP (different patterned piece) and then emboss the Sweet Swirls using Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, Clear Embossing Powder and heat.  Adhere to the other Bella Bleu paper.
5. Wrap Kraft Taffeta ribbon around the card front at the intersection of the two patterns.
6. Stamp greeting and emboss as well ("Congratulations" from Wedding Sweet shown above).
7. Adhere this completed panel to card front.

Other Ideas

• Add sponging for a more vintage look.
• Add more swirls/flowers.
• Use Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon.
• Instead of DSP, use a background stamp (lighter brown color like Creamy Caramel or Close to Cocoa). Then stamp/emboss over it.

Have fun stamping!
