A Wedding....

Why is it that things seem to come in threes? I now have a wedding to go to, and need to make another wedding card, as well as the acceptance and bridal shower cards.

First thing's first, so here is the acceptance card. Stay tuned for the other's soon!!( read here - cards still to be made - LOL)

This creation is based on a Mojo Monday sketch, and is done is Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Apricot Appeal and Whisper White . DSP is a retired one, and the hearts are from Greetings Eight and the background is the Polka Dot background stamp.

Here is a close up of the detail.

These are not colours that I have put together before, and I'm still not sure about it, but I think it is because they aren't my normal choice. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I'm open to constructive criticism.

Casing Rebecca.

For the first time in a long time, I have had to make a wedding card. These are something that I find difficult, probably because I want the card to be extra special to celebrate an extra special occasion. This one I found quite easy, not sure if this is because I didn't personally know the people getting married, or if it was because I had some wonderful inspiration in the form of my fellow SU team member Rebecca O'Gorman. I saw Bec's creation and had it in mind when I made this one up.

Please excuse the awful night time photography, but I had to make it overnight to give to the wedding guest to take to the wedding the next day! Nothing like leaving it to the last minute. Colours are (believe it or not) Perfect Plum and Whisper White. I have used white embossing powder on the sentiment as well as the Always hearts. I stamped off the branch image to soften the colour and I've used some pearls from the Pretties Kit to make the buttons on the lady heart and some white ribbon with a silver brad for the bow tie on the man heart. Three silver brads at the bottom of the Perfect Plum section complete the card.
