Wedding card

Hi all! I was asked to make a card for a friend who's attending a wedding this weekend . I don't make a lot of these type cards so I tend to think and think and think about what I'm going to make and I usually end up changing my mind several times. This time was no different. I started out with a cutfile from Bird's Cards  ( I believe this one is called a Swirl Frame) , but that was the only thing I stuck with!! Here , take a look.....

 

 

 

I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.... should've used my Silhouette in the beginning! I used it to create a custom Mr& Mrs , which I sketched with a silver Silhouette gel pen and then cut out.... so simple , yet elegant. For  a little bling and color , I added a red rhinestone heart. The cardstock is  American Crafts and the damask dp is a MME paper stack.

 

 

 

Here's a better look a the sentiment.

 

The pin and ribbon are from my stash of goodies that I keep on adding to!!

 

 

 

 

Here's a look at the inside......

 

 

 

 

I liked the touch of red so much that I repeated

it with a red stamp beneath the greeting. Both sets are from Stampin' Up! :I { heart}Hearts and Occasional Quotes in CTMH archival black ink. I made the envelope since  I couldn't seem to find one the right size.

 

I got this card finished just in time.....the wedding is tomorrow!!

Thanks for stopping by today... have a great weekend!!

 

 

Wedding cards

I'm back!!! I did not fall off the edge of the earth , although some days it felt like I did!!! I have been super busy with the end of school , and then sending both of my girls off to Cadet camp , plus, it's been unseasonably hot here in NL! My craft room feels like a sauna!!! Ah, but today we have rain  and it's nice and cool upstairs, finally,and I can sit and enjoy my room once again!!! I needed to make a couple of wedding cards for a friend. Here they are.....



I used a little of everything for this card! For the sentiment on the front, I dug out my Cri-Kit pens and drew the sentiment "Mr and Mrs" ( black gel pen) from Wrap it Up and then went back and added the wineglasses in gold gel pen. I love the effect! I then used my alltime fav cartridge, Art Philosophy , for the flowers- they are cut in sizes 1"-1.5" and then sprayed with a few shades of Glimmer Mist for some color. The inside greeting is from a retired Hostess set called Occasional Quotes.

Here's the second card.....

I still have lots of gorgeous SU! dsp just waiting to be used , like this lovely grey patterned paper.I kept this card simple, with just a little bling for the flowers and a Want-2-Scrap flourish on the front.The inside sentiment is from One in a Million stamp set from the new Stampin' Up! catalogue. The flourish stamp on the inside is from a Fiskars set. The outside greeting is from SU!'s Teeny Tiny Wishes, which I embossed on black cardstock.

Oh, how I've missed my craftroom!! Hopefully I can some more crafting done before the heat  returns!! ( But then sunshine = beach time!! yay!!!)

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a great day!!
