Wedding Card

I'm including two photos because this was hard to photograph!  The first one I think the details are clear - but the color is way off - so I've included a 2nd photo to show you the actual color of the pink more accurately.

I made this wedding card using the Chomas Creations gel pen holder in my Cricut.  I designed everything in my Gypsy so that I could draw these designs, and then cut them out.  I have a video of making another card with the gel pens that will show you how to do that - to see that card and video go to this post. 

  I used the glitter gel pens for this design - I just can't get enough of them!!!  I used a pink for the background - which is from the Storybook Cartridge.  It is a 4 and 1/2 inch square.  The wedding couple is from the Wedding Solutions cartridge - it seemed like a perfect image to use the gel pens for!  I drew them with the silver gel pen at 3.82 inches.  I know this is a weird size, but it's easy to do things like that with a Gypsy.  After drawing them I cut them out using the shadow feature.

The card base is 5 inches square when closed.  I did some simple paper piercing all around the edges to give a little detail.  To make my holes line up nicely I used the Mat Pack from Stampin' Up.  That thing ROCKS!!! It will help you line up holes like this, as well as brads or eyelets.  

For the sentiment I used My Pink Stamper's Family and Friends set.  I stamped it in silver ink and cut it out. Then I matted it onto pink cardstock and cut that out.  Super easy :)

 I shot video of this - and it turned out horribly :(  I was so disappointed.  The lighting was off and you couldn't see the Gypsy screen and the card looked so washed out.  I decided it was best to trash the video, which stinks.  So, sorry about that.  Like I said the other video I shot will give you a good tutorial on the gel pen holder and how to draw and then cut using the Gypsy. 

Have a fabulous day! :)
