Zombie Bride Card



I'm here to share another Design Team project for OAK Tree Stamps. I was feeling a little spooky so I turned the cute bride from the Now & Forever set into a Zombie Bride. This card was fun and super quick to make...

1. I cut the card base using black cardstock, It's cut at 4.75in. X 11.5in. and folded in half. I then cut a few scraps to make some fun layers.
2. I dripped Distress Stain on the white cardstock to make it look like blood spatter. I then added it to the card base with foam tape.
3. Layered the the purple on the black and then tucked a torn and inked piece of red cardstock under them.
4. To add the sentiment, I stamped out "Now & Forever" then dripped more Distress Stain on all over the stamped sentiment. I then just tore it out changing the direction of each little rip.
5. I colored the bride using colored pencils, I just had fun and made her look as creepy,cute and dead as I could. Then fussy cut her out.
6. To finish the card I inked the edges of all the pieces and glued them down. I added the bride and sentiment using foam tape. I then embellished with some enamel hearts.

OAK Tree Stamp Set- Now & Forever
Recollections- Card Stock
Momneto Ink-Tuxedo Black
Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain- Abandoned Coral

Now & Forever Wedding Card- OAK Tree DT Post


I created this card just to have a fun twist on a traditional wedding card. My friend recently had a Neon Wedding so it inspired my card. Keep reading for a quick how to. 

1. I stamped the bride & Now & Forever Sentiment from the Oak Tree Stamp Set-Now and Forever on regular white cardstock. I fussy cut them out and I colored the bride with colored pencils. 

2. I layered the fussy cut images on a piece of coordinating cardstock and also cut fussy cut around them for a fun border and to make them pop.   

3. This is my favorite card layout because it's so easy. I always just use scraps and chop them to fit to my liking. After all my layers are adhered to my pre-made card base I add my image and sentiment using adhesive foam tape. 

4. To finish the card I added some layered sequins. I added pearls in the black ones and tiny rhinestones on the others to cover the tiny holes in the sequins. 

This was such a fun card to make I hope you all enjoy it and give this card layout a try. 

What I used:
OAK Tree Stamp Set-Now and Forever
Pre-made card base 
Sequins 
Pearls 
DCWV-The Chalk Fun Stack 
Momento Ink-Tuxedo Black
