When I saw the As You See It challenge #056, I knew it was the kind of design that leaves a lot of room for creative interpretation. I chose to be more traditional in my interpretation of the sketch in order to use paper scraps. Another old set I had stumbled unto when looking through my stamps was Big Celebrations and I decided to use the wedding image because I don't have a lot of wedding-theme cards on hand. I had also noticed when last using the Label Love stamp set (Annual Catalogue, p. 14) that I had never used the newlyweds sentiment yet. I embossed it with Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder on Silver Metallic Paper.
The main image was embossed in black powder and decorated with rhinestones, Dazzling Details and I colored the plate using the Silver Stampin' Dazzle Marker. The cute white button is from the Nordic Designer Buttons pack, found in the Holidays catalogue, threaded with black needlepoint floss. Frosted sequins from the Holidays catalogue were also scattered on the card for added pizzazz.

I love the silver embossing on silver paper! A really great metallic monochromatic card. Thanks for sharing it with us at the As You See It Challenge blog!
