Now and Forever

The current challenge at The Card Concept was the inspiration for this pretty wedding themed design.  I used the inspiration photo's color scheme (blue, creamy white, and metallic silver) along with this week's Mojo Monday sketch to put my clean and layered card together.

I used shimmery white cardstock for the background panel.  It's topped with a sparkly silver panel, then a pair of coordinating blue panels.  The floral patterned paper brings in a bit of the floral element from the inspiration photo.  I stamped the "now and forever" sentiment from the Paper Smooches Simply Said set on the solid blue panel in gray pigment ink. 

Instead of using paper, I wrapped the panel with a piece of soft light blue faux suede ribbon.  I used white faux suede ribbon to make the fishtail flag strip set on top of the blue ribbon.  The ribbons are accented with a heart cut from shimmery white cardstock.  After I added a pair of grey enamel dots to the sentiment panel to bring in a bit more of the silver/gray color, the finished panel was adhered to a coordinating light blue card base.
