Here is their second card sketch...
This time I made a wedding card for a very dear friend who is getting married in a few days. I'm really really happy for her. Our friendship goes a long way back, more than 20years...started our carrier together in the same hospital and worked at the same unit...
I have not made a wedding card for years, yay!! Here's my card:
Best Wishes
Stuck the card inside a frame and took a photo...
but I think it does look good inside the frame too :))
Surrounded the whole card (first layer) with pearls...
on the top layer, I used Sizzix Ornate Frame
Hearts & Vines embossing folder
and cut it out using scallop scissors.
The paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle.
I don't have a 'best wishes' stamp so I printed it from the computer.
there is one bird in the pattern paper itself, so I attached another one.
the adhesive chipboard bird is from Studio 112 which
I painted with Snow Cap acrylic paint and
embossed using Ranger's holographic embossing powder.
For the flower, I put together...
a lace - which I formed into a flower then added ribbons,
then topped it off with two kinds of fabric flower which I stuck together.
added other embellishes...and the card is done.
Supplies:
Cardstock - Bazzill; Papers - Little Yellow Bicycle (Swoon & Wedding March)
Embellieshments: Pearls from stash; laces, ribbons, fabric flowers (John Lewis store and from stash); Studio 112 adhesive chipboard bird; Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber - Snow Cap; Rangers Holographic Embossing Powder;
Prima adhesive pearls; Sizzix Ornate Frame Hearts & Vines embossing folder; Cheery Lynn Design dies - Lace Corner Deco F & Olive Branches
Mailed the card today and on the way to my friend.
I hope you like it what I have created.
Best wishes to all of you.
Keep the love alive!!!
Have a great and inspiring day.
Hugs,
irene
