It's that time of year again where the sound of wedding bells are in the year. This summer I have 3 friends getting married. Though the ceremony and banquet didn't turn out as expected, that doesn't stop us from being creative with our presents. Comment below if you want to see more projects like these. I also recently created an amino account @MengzhenHao3. If you like what I post, please follow me there.
I designed this wedding card for my friends Josh and Tana as a present a couple weeks back. I wanted it to have an elegant pearly theme to it but not entirely white cause I knew the card stock background would be white so we went with a tan and white gradient. Overall I am super thrilled with the end product. The pearl flowers really stand out among the green leaves and yet don't overpower the two hearts in the background. The green leaves also adds a nice variety of colour. The ribbon strip works well with the theme with the two gold strips along the side. The thing I did differently with this card that usually was, instead of using two layers with the flowers resting on top of the first layer layer, this time to give it more depth, I placed some of the flowers on the first layer and bent them so that the petals sat on the second layer. It's much more difficult to glue down because the petals are not attached onto a flat surface but it also provides much more depth. Things that I would have improved upon would have been not to use so much glue on the ribbon strip. Because I used liquid glue, it caused the paper to bend a little. I also originally made the design too large despite planning it ahead of time on the cork board. Often "less is more" for cards that you want a clean and elegant finish. I would love to hear your feedback. I have also created an amino account @MengzhenHao3 if you want to follow me and see more of my artwork there.
