"Mr. and Mrs." Wedding Tag!! :)

Hey Everyone!! Happy T.G.I.F!! I'm so happy that my favorite day is finally here! I'm looking forward to catching up on some sleep, enjoying the unseasonably warm weather and maybe a little crafting.

Okay, I meant to say a lot of crafting!

For today's project, I made a tag for a Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: simonsaysstampblog.com.

The theme for this challenge is "Wedding or Anniversary".

I decided to go with a tag and push myself to see what I could create.

I think it turned out nice but I'll let you decide.

Here is the pic for your perusal:

This is a 4 x 7" tag that I made out of white cardstock.

I inked the edges using a Very Vanilla Craft inkpad from Stampin Up.

I wanted to keep the color scheme ivory and white and used touches of those colors throughout the tag.

I cut another piece of white cardstock @ 3 3/4 x 5 1/4", colored it using the same ivory ink and embossed it with my D'Vine Swirls folder.

I used my ATG gun to adhere the embossed piece to the tag.

Once I had my base complete, I set to work on the wedding dress.

I stamped a dress form onto white cardstock using Staz On jet black ink.

The stamp came from a Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous set I purchased from Michael's a few weeks back.

I cut the dress form out and used it as a template.

I started out by drawing a dress shape onto white cardstock.

I used a picture of my wedding dress to model the patterns and textures of the dress.

For the bodice, I used punched out flowers and flourishes out of vellum to give it that intricate look.

I added ivory ribbon, pearls and white sheer ribbon to finish the bodice off.

For the bottom of the dress, I adhered a piece of vellum that I had cut to fit.

I then laid strips of white sheer ribbon to cover up the vellum and give the dress some added texture.

I used some more ivory ribbon along the hem and attached vellum flowers and pearls for some added dimension.

To finish  it off, I took a piece of vellum that I punched using a Fiskars Flower Edge punch and added it to the bottom above the ribbon.

I used foam tape to attach my dress to the tag.

I wanted to make some shoes to go along with the dress but I don't have any stamps that feature shoe images.

So I drew a pair of my own on white cardstock using an image I found online.

Once I had my shoes at the right size, I cut them out and traced the outlines with a fine tip black marker.

I used a grey colored pencil to add some color to the inside and for shading.

As an accent, I punched an ivory flower and added a pearl to the center to dress up the shoes a bit.

I used my ATG gun to adhere the shoes directly to the tag.

To dress up it up and pull everything together, I used some more of that sheer white ribbon along the top.

I added some ivory letter stickers from Creative Memories to spell out the "Mr & Mrs".

A few white flowers, some rhinestones and pearls finish the tag off.

And ta-da! tag complete!!

 I hope you all enjoyed this project! 

I'll end this post here and enjoy your T.G.I.F and have a great weekend!!

Peace!! :)
