A JustRite Autumn Wedding
This evening I made a card for our niece’s wedding which will be next Saturday. An October wedding. Her dress is white and her bridesmaids will be wearing brown. The flowers will be in fall colors with leafy accents about, so that’s what I tried to capture. Quite honestly, these colors just were not doing it for me in terms of a wedding card, but after I decided to add lots of glitz and sparkle, then it seemed to work, and I really do like the end result!!! Here it is:
I’ll take this layer by layer — the bottom layer is stamped with Versa Mark in SU’s background called Print Pattern, embossed with Iridescent Ice. The solid oval is my favorite piece and you can hardly see it under the flowers. It is stamped in Versa Mark and embossed with Iridescent Ice as well, using Baroque Motifs (those gorgeous swirls)! It is framed in a scalloped oval (all done with the Nestabilities). I pierced each scallop, then I kind of rolled the edges over my Versa Mark pad and embossed them with the Iridescent Ice as well. The flowers are Daisy Doodle Primas and the leaf is in a bag from Michaels. Here’s a close-up so you can see all the detail a bit better:
The new couple’s monogram was done with the Special Occasion Monogram Stamper Kit by JustRite. Monogram etiquette dictates that when you monogram the initials of a married couple, the woman’s initial is on the left, the last name is in the center, and the man’s initial is on the right. This is for Maria and Andrew W. The monogram was cut with the Nestabilites again and it is narrowly bordered with a scallop, which was also embossed as above.
There is something I want to explain to you about doing this monogram. I’ve done a lot of monograms with the JustRite products, and I’ve never encountered this before, but I’m sure it is likely to happen again, just depending on the combination of initials used. When I just put my MWA onto the stamper and stamped, it was really off balance. Check these photos to see what I mean:
See the first photo. Letters are on the stamper as usual, and look how it stamps — really off balance. I could not move the M any closer, so I tried to move the A further away, and that kind of worked in this situation as I was NOT using a ring border. If I were going to use a ring border, then it would have been off balance within the border. And if you look closely at the W, you can see the problem. It is kind of off to one side on the rubber because of the huge swirly on its upper tail (real official terms here — LOL!). Anyway, to fix the problem permanently, I just cut away the rubber on the W under that swirly, allowing me to push my M closer in to balance it all out properly. Refer to photo 2. See how nicely it now stamped? Easily done, problem solved. And the moral of this story is — IT IS OK TO CUT YOUR RUBBER!!!
