Here is my card! I love working with Core'dinations paper! I can layer and have pattern but I don't need to use printed paper! How cool is that?!
My favorite technique is embossing the paper with a folder, then sanding the surface of the paper. I used Core'dinations Gemstones Pearlescent Finish paper (the black and red) for the front of my card. When you sand this, the paper core is a matte finish! So yummy next to the pearlescent paper!
Here is the inside. I stamped more images from the Wedding stamp set. This is a great card for a new couple or for an anniversary card...for an old couple! {giggle}
