Another quickie wedding card


This was yet another of my late night crafting projects! I don't know why I do it to myself!!!I made this card for the son of my neighbours who got married on 20th December. I suppose that the colours are quite unconventional- lilac and pale aqua but they went with the DP so heyho!!!
The letters were cut from Bazzil and shadowed with silver mirri .The DP is from Dovecraft's Wedding collection matted on silver mirri. I added a strip of ribbon, a ribbon bow topped with a layered flower (this is a fave technique of mine at the moment.I'm using it a lot!)a pearl brad (in the flower) and self-adhesive pearls to decorate the ribbon and letters. I added a vellum envelope to the inside to hold a cash gift.
Carts used:
Don Juan (again!!) with Under Pressure enabled
Simple but effective don't you think?
Thanks for stopping by!

Boxing Day Birthday


Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great Christmas! This card was made for the daughter of some very good friends of ours who's birthday was on Boxing Day. I used Dovecraft papers for this one with Prima flowers,ribbon from my stash, a key charm and gorgeous glittered paper from Crafttime.I hope she got it in time 'cos the Royal Mail have been playing silly beggars just lately with these bulky cards!!
Carts used:
Don Juan (supplied with the Create)
If you can get hold of this cartridge I would say buy it because the font is great and cuts beautifully even at small sizes,
Thanks for looking!
