Weddings .....

We appear to be walking into the wedding season with the beginning of May.  So I am following. 

My card is a Lili of the Valley image, and I am ashamed to say that this is it's first inking!!  Bad lady ...  I think they are very cute couple.  My bride is slightly non-traditional, as I decided to give her a pale blue gown, and also another first, I have cut an out of frame nestie, following the very easy tutorial from the lovely Rach.  This can be found here. 

The image is coloured in Copics.  The background papers, which are very neutral, silvery grey, are printed from the Decadent Brocade CD available from Graphicus, on to White Silver Shimmer Card, which gives a lovely sheen  I have just slightly modified the intensity to get differing tones of the same sheet.  This is mounted on to Bazzill Bling card.  No idea what colour - but I think it was out of a Wisteria colour match pack.  Lace and ribbon are from Bunny Zoe's Crafts, and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, with punches used for leaves, and also the double edging across the middle.  The sentiment is from Magnolia, which I bought at the NEC.   I have also used Stardust stickles to give a little bling.

I am entering this for the following challenges:

Charisma Card Challenge, week 20 - its all about weddings
One Stop Craft Challenge, no. 79 - wedding wishes and DT call
CRAFT Challenge, no. 49, - wedding or birthday


Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments.

 

Wedding card for friend .....

A friend of mine at work is getting married, and this is the card I made for her. No stamping except for the words on the heart. The base card is a white silver shimmer card, and all the white parts on the front of the card are the same card; the various parts have been embossed on the cuttlebug, or cut with nestabilities. The smokey blue patterned paper is MME French Flea Market. All the embellishments are from stash. The inside is also silver shimmer paper to match, and I put hearts all over the paper using the computer, and then adding a sentiment as well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Where does the time go - no posts all week.

Somehow I have managed to fit this entry for four challenges. Not sure how I managed that - I think it is a record for me! I just don't know how some people get to cover six or more challenges with one card. I think forward planning comes in there somewhere ...........

These challenges are

• Challenge 45 at Winter Wonderland, where the theme is frosty the snowman,


• ABC Challenge where the theme is D for Diecuts


• Crafty Creations Challenge, no. 32 with a theme of Embossing


• Cupcake Craft Challenges, no 56, which is a colour challenge, of red, white and blue

I have used a Penny Black image of a cute snowman, and it is coloured with Prisma pencils, with a very generous helping of Stickles for some bling. The image it is cut with a Nestabilities die, as is the red mount - not sure you can see that it is embossed (but I assure you that it is), as is the text label at the bottom. To make sure I really did have some stamp embossing there as well, the strip of blue card are the side has been silver embossed with holly swirls. I am not sure where the papers are from - just in my Christmas stash box, and I have added Stickles to this as well. You cannot have Christmas cards without bling. The irridescent snowflakes were left over from last year, and I have added snowflake charms to these, which came from the Hobby House.

Thanks for stopping by.
