Wedding Card

Hello Dear Friends~~~

I couldn't sleep this morning so I got up at 4:30am and decided to make a card :)  My friend asked if I would make a wedding card for her niece.  So I put on my thinking hat and............all I know is that the wedding color scheme is black/white with touch of red.

WHOLA~~~

Simple but elegant~~Don't you think???  LOTV wedding couple was stamped twice...to portray a shadow effect..first stamped with TH tattered Rose and then again with TH fired brick :) Tip: Sometimes a softer ink gives a nicer shadow then just stamping off without re-inking:)   Don't ya just love that Paper Temptress Ruffled Ribbon**sparkly, shimmery, OOoooo so Gorgeous!!! 

DCWV "Love" paper pack has vellum sayings inside...then added MS fabulous butterfly!!

Here it shows glitz of stardust stickles on brides dress train, hairpiece and her bouquet as well as butterfly and Red Rose

Of course had to fancy up the envelope~~~used SU Elements of style stamp and stamped off for softer prettier look... along with adding Lotv sentiment

Challenges entering:
Allsorts #110~~ Free and Easy
TTT #41~~~Wedding/Anniversary
Truly Scrumptious #60~~ Things with Wings

Recipe:

Bridal Shower Card

SSCC #33 Is  Love or something symbolizing Love
 CLP April challenge is this sketch:

My Niece's Bridal Shower is tomorrow so I decided to use segments of her invitation and make a shower card.  Here is Ashley's bridal shower card:

I used their photo from the invitation as the focal image which was matted with SB rectangle scallop nestie and given dimension with foam tape.  The sentiment was cut from the invite with SU Modern labels punch and popped up on a SB Fancy tag.  The papers are Recollections Precious Metals cardstock (have beautiful shimmer to them) and DCWV Love and Wedding Stack.  Tools used to create the layers:  MS Deco fan punch, Fiskars Circles corner punch, SB Scallop circle and rectangle nesties, SB fancy tag and CB embossing folder.  On circle scallop~used WOJ spring swirls stamp with glamour dust sprinkled upon :)  Accented with ribbons, BG rub ons and rhinestones, Wild Orchid Rose glistened with crystal stickles, tulle and Modern Romance floral spray and of course a LOVE charm :))

Inside of card ~~top half :) Used MS, SU and Fiskars punches again along with crystal stickles along top border and around edges of hearts. Added monogram letters --sorry little hard to see:))

Inside bottom half of card:  Once again cut out the designer dress from the invitation~~added tulle (again doesn't show up very well) behind for a glam look and popped up to give dimension! 

Few more close ups :D

Am excited for the shower and hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! Smiles :o)) 

WOJ Wedding Card

Hello~ The awesome WOJ Anniversary Challenge is a sketch by Rach!!!!!



I created this wedding card seeing we have two weddings on same day in Nov. The focused image was WOJ's wedding cake~~colored cake and bride's dress with oyster Twinkling H2O, used copics for hair and groom's tux, and finished flowers and leaves with smooch (lime and taffy) to give it that shimmer. Deja Views paper and punch out wedding tablet gave me many options for this card. Matted the dp with BBP olive dotted swiss and shiny textured grey. Used SU pink to mat worded dp. Used foam tape to pop up the grey BBP and doubled foam tape to pop up the WOJ cake :-) Finished with flowers, BG bling it on flourish and His and Her wedding ring charms!!!!!!!!!!!
Close up of WOJ wedding cake and charms
Close up of finished flowers~~I added crystal stickles to the small pink flower for bling
