Sizzix Accordion Album Wedding Card

Our next-door neighbour recently married my son and daughter's French teacher (they are just a bit weirded out by that!) I made this wedding card for them. I don't have any specific wedding stamps/materials, so I used a 'Best Wishes' stamp - in white Staz-On ink on acetate.

 Dies used:

Sizzix Accordion Album

Frame & label, Bracket 

Sizzlits Label & Flourish

 Sizzlits Phrase, For you w/Swirls

Tattered Florals

On the Edge Pennants

Sizzlits Flowers, Branches and Leaf 

Li'l Stampers Hearts

 I used lots of old stash and stamps - can't remember where most is from. I hand cut the mini bunting and stamped butterflies, added script, stamp marks, music script and other stamps, and sprayed the corrugated card (some old packaging) with some watered down white acrylic paint in a spray bottle.

 The large and medium flowers I made by hand, as follows:
Cut flowers from watercolour paper.

 Cut between the petals nearer to the centres, and sprayed with water to soften the paper.

 I sprayed the flowers with a watered down ink and mica powder mixture (I put the water on first, so that the paper didn't absorb too much ink),

 then shaped the flowers (with my seed dibber!)

 The petal layers can then either be glued together, joined with a brad, or as I did here, pinned through.

(For the larger flowers, I also added extra layers from the Tattered Florals die.)
