Wedded Bliss

Whats on my work space....?
A blinkin mess to be honest,
I dare not show you the rest
of my work area, this needs
a good tidy up as it is.


I had a day off work today,
so I got time to make some cards.

A lady at work asked me to make
her a Wedding card
in a similar style to the invite.

It was in white and pink,
with four diamonds along the
pink ribbon on the side.


I thought it looks an easy enough idea
BUT
It was a real pain in the elbow to do.

I made one and it looked too plain.
The white card looked all wrong.
So I made it again using shimery white
card....but once I stuck down the
second white layer I realsied
that I had not stuck down the ribbon....
The ribbon may have been pink
but the air was blue!

Third time....
I discovered I didnt have
two sheets of the white shimery card.
So it is a sort of oyster colour.
But by this point I really didn't care!


Anyway here is final card.

The pink flower is punched out in the oyster
card and darker pink ribbon is underneath.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So this was the white card that looked wrong.
I stamped butterflies and dragon flies
and added the Penny Black image.
I think I will go back and add some
more shading to his tummy.
The top layer of the punched out butterfly
is a wee bit of left over vellum.


I am entering it in papertake weekly,
who want Fun, fun, fun!
Creative card crew who want pink & green
Penny Black Sat Challenge want in the garden.
My Time to craft ~ wild thing.

OK so I had one more base card made
from the wedding card faff from before.
I needed a Thank you card.

I think I got a bit carried away
on the dots and dashes on the edging
but I like the end card.


My pal asked me to do her a
wedding card as well...
to be honest after the morning
I had with the other card
I almost didn't want to do this
card at all......

But I got on with it, and
I quite liked what I ended up with.


I am not keen on fussy wedding cards.
The off white card in this is also
a bit shimmery.
So is the purple ink I used to
smudge the edges of the
hearts and the sentiment.

Lastly.....
I really enjoyed making this one.


Passion for promarker want Books as this weeks theme.
Well you must know by now
I LOVE TWILIGHT!
lol.
So here is Bella & Edward.
I know Bella would not wear
a dress like this.
But she is the best I could do.

This evening Bella-Boo is going
to a puppy party at the vets.
She is being a wee toad.....so
a party is the last place I think she
should be getting to attend today!

Andrew took her and Poppy-dog
into town in the car.
He went into a shop for a short while....
came out and found her in the boot....
eating a slice of bread from
the loaf he had bought in the bakers.

She was quite happy!
