Clean and Simple Abstract Wedding Card

I'm sure you've guessed by now that the abstract technique has taken up permanent residence in my card-making repertoire.  Because I use stencils to build my abstracts and I love ink blending, the possibilities are endless and the options infinite.   If you like the abstract look you want to check out my posts Inspired by Mindy Egan - Abstract Card, More Abstract Card Ideas, and Drawing Inspiration from Outside the Card Making Realm.  Today's card is a modern wedding card.

I started this card by ink-blending my abstract composition.  I started with Dried Marigold and the largest shape then added the next largest shape with Saltwater Taffy, and finished with the small shape in Speckled Egg.  As I built the composition I wanted to retain a large white space in the middle. 

Once I completed the ink blending, I trimmed the panel with the retired Sizzix Dotted Rectangles largest die. I added the dress and the stacked sentiment using VersaFine Black.  By preserving a large white space I was able to stamp the dress so that it would be mostly white.  To complete the card I adhered it to a white card base and added a bit of sparkle with a few sequins.
