I cut both the front and back of the card with Spellbinders Exquisite Labels Eleven. I cut the centre of the front out with SB Majestic labels Twenty Five and used that die set to make a frame for the vellum. I embossed the vellum and ( now my crazy is going to show !! ) by cutting my candle die out many times and stacking the negatives, I was able to make the embossing folder NOT emboss in the candles. Yep ! That was just nuts!!
I used Shimmer spray on the vellum panel and accented the holly leaves with a fine glitter.
The centre panel is raised up with foam tape and I put another layer of vellum behind the whole card front so that you can't really see the inside sentiment which is stamped in grey ink so it's not too bold.
I used lots of pearls and three clear gems and stamped a wedding envelope with the JR Poinsettias to match. Here's a close-up, but I still can't get all the shimmer to show. :(

Wow Shona, your design is stunning & so elegant, the layers of white die cuts & embossing is a wonderful treat. Enjoy the rest of the week, Shirleyxx ps.. I used either 4x6 Acrylic block or a 5x7 (inches that is) plexi glass plate that I bought for $2 at an Art Shop.
