Bride Wedding Card

2nd post today!

Another commissioned wedding card, this time decoupaged. I printed onto Centura Pearl card which gives a beautiful golden shimmer.

The veil and head-dress are highlighted with Glamour Dust

This card's colours are beautiful rich creams which haven't shown up very well on these photos.  The self-adhesive pearls were all that were needed to finish the front of the card because I didn't want to overshadow its pretty background design.  A beautiful verse was on the inside.

a) the rotten wind has blown down our fence panel, b) the dog doesn't want to go out to do what a dog has to do! and c) at his teatime we realised there wasn't enough kibble for him - poor thing!  So good old hubby, he's younger than me so he's definitely not old went to shop for dog food and then braved the elements to take said dog up the garden, bless.  He bypassed the fence panel, don't blame him in this wind, if he had picked it up no doubt he'd be skydiving over next door's hedge. 

Meanwhile I longingly stared out my front window waiting for a hunky fireman to float down the road in a dingy to rescue me from this crappy weather and whisk me away to warmer climes - yeah right, not gonna happen honey.

All that remains for me to do (without a fireman to hand) is to get all excited for tonight's The Voice - I love, love, love it!  Especially Will.i.am - who knew he was so stinking cute and overflowing with kind words of goodness?!

I've been around your blogs ladies, so I'm off to my favourite other place.....Pinterest!  Why not come join me?

UPDATE: This card design was from CraftsUprint.

Wedding Easel Card

This easel card is one of the commissions I've made this week and as the wedding was yesterday, I'm quite safe showing the photos now!

This is from the groom's parents and was made to their requirements. 

Small 'pages' which act as a stopper to prop up the card's 'front pages'.

The left-hand 'main page'

The top front pages

Side view, the three page layers and message tag are shown well here

Underneath the 'main pages' I've made a tag holder...

..and here's the tag with printed verse!  I left the reverse side blank for a personal message.

The folded card inside the box

Box lid with an acetate window

Card design -  Interactive easel card from The Clipart Fairy

White Smooth Card - 260gsm from local supplier

Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts

Wedding Bells, Ribbon, self-adhesive pearls - my stash

300gsm Centura Pearlescent Card - Crafters Companion

Apparently the rain held off either side of the church ceremony and didn't start again until they arrived at the reception - perfect!!  They couldn't have wished for better.

Hope you've shut all doors, windows and cat flaps, put the fires and heating on, got your favourite winter bloomers on and are staying in the warm on this horrid wet and windy day.....it's a great excuse to get more crafting done!
