Wild Card Wedding


I love the Wild Card cartridge, but I have to say that it works better for the Expression machine as some of the cards cut very small on the original bug, but don't despair! You can make a fabbo feature on the front of a standard card instead of a stand alone card as I have done here. I cut the pretty filagree oval card sized to fit the front of a 5x7" card. I backed the front of the oval card with some pretty printed angel-hair type paper from The Works. I covered the front of the main card with some Doodlebug embossed paper matted onto silver mirri. I adhered the oval card to some silver mirri cut to shape with deckle edged scissors. I then decorated the oval card with white flowers with pearl centres & some little embellie butterflies that came free with a mag at Christmas. I punched a hole on the right hand side of the oval, put an eyelet in & threaded swirly ribbon through it ( I trapped the other piece of ribbon under the oval before I adhered it to the card front) To finish the decoration I added some pearls in each corner and at either end of the flower arrangement. I computer generated the greeting onto Safmat and put it inside the oval card. I decorated the inside of the main card with the sentiment 'your big day'. This card has gone to India with my other half to be presented to the bride & groom, Swati & Kalpesh, tomorrow at their wedding!
