Wedding Card + a photo :)

Hello lovelys :D

We've been away this weekend at my cousin's wedding and i've had the most amazing time! We went on friday, and had a fancy meal in the hotel with the rest of the wedding guests, and then the wedding was on the Saturday at a lovely manor house about 5 minutes away from the hotel. The venue was sooooo stunning! Full of victorian decor, it was sooooo pretty :D Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of the house or the bride and groom so i can't show you that, but here's a photo of me (right) and my sister just before we left the hotel to go to the wedding.

I havn't worn a dress since i was about 6 years old, so big shocker there! lol

And here's the card i made for them, with its box...

Sorry about the awful photos. I didn't finish the card until about an hour before we left on friday and we'd already packed the camera, so i had to take them in the hotel.

I used off-white card and embossed a border around the edge, nesties, a printed sentiment, prima and wild orchid crafts flowers, and a charm and ribbon from my stash. The frame around the sentiment has crackle paint on, but you can't see it in the photos.

Ooooo and i almost forgot... i've won some challenges with my advent calender!! Yippeeeee :D

Thanks for looking, and don' forget to enter the candy. It closes tomorow evening!!!!!!!

Heart of gold - wedding/anniversary card

Hiya

Here's a card i've made for one of mum's work friends, for her wedding in a couple of weeks.

The cardblank was already embossed with the flowers, but i cut it down as it was A5 sized, and i wanted it smaller. I inked the edges with antique linen distress ink, and embossed lines around each edge, then made a heart shape from x-cut punched flowers, and added perfect pearls and glitter glue to the centres, then finished it with a couple of white pearls.

I need a bit more practice with perfect pearls, so don't look too close!

Pearl Wedding Anniversary

Hey!

Todays card is a fairly quick/simple one, which i've made for my aunty and uncles pearl wedding anniversary in August.

I used my sizzix butterfly die, and then embossed it with the swiss dots embossing folder. Blossom nesties, d'vine swirls embossing folder, Antique Linen distress ink, and pearls. The whole card is sprayed with gold glimmer mist, but you can't really see it in the pics.

heart-fly flowers

Good evening everyone

Todays card could be used for lots of things..... wedding, anniversary or anything else so i've called it 'heart-fly flowers' because its got hearts, a butterfly and flowers :).... clever eh!? The background is stamped with my new swirl stamp from prima marketing which i'm in love with and am gonna use loads, cuttlebug embossed panel, nestie and butterfly sent by a docrafter, x-cut punched flowers, pearls, gems and hearts from stash.

Engagement

Hiya

Here's a card i've made for my cousin who got engaged yesterday. It my entry for Tuesday Taggers which is "sepia". Sorry the colour isn't very sepia-ish, but it looked different when i printed it than it did on the computer screen, and the printer was running out of ink, so it will have to do!

Printed on the computer, layered onto goldy card, anitas gems and woodware ribbon

Thanks for looking x
