Second Wedding Card

I made two cards for the couple getting married last weekend, here is the second one. I went for white on white, my first time! I combo'd alot of dies to make this!


So, the main part of the easel is a huge combo of dies, on some textured background papers ( hard to see!). The flowers are mainly from Wild Orchid. The two doves top right are wooden laser cuts, painted. The pearls are from the stash. The ribbon is a white version of the cream ribbon we used on their actual wedding invites. (Off ebay).


As you can tell, it was super hard to get a good photo, but here it is laid flat. Its 20cm x 20cm, so pretty large!

Dies used - 
Tonic - Wreath
Joy - (Background landscape) Mery's Christmas tree and house border.
Marianne designs - Bike LR0394
Die'sire - Traditional Bunting
Sue Wilson - Maidenhair Ferns
Nestabilities - Hearts
IO Dies - Birch and Cardinal DIE079-U
And the couple were a loan from a friend, not sure what the die is called, but it also has a stone arch!
***Edit - It's Crafts Too Presscut Die - Bride and Groom PCD14***


Inside the card, to make the rest for the easel to latch onto, I cut out three dogs, also in white, two Frenchies and a Pug! Their dogs are called Esmae, Bert and Ted! More lace and flowers as above.

All dressed up - bride and groom.

Commissioned Wedding Congrats Card for the couple I recently made wedding invites for. This beautiful image is from All Dressed Up, and it was the only one that I thought was cute, but not saccharine or sickly or animé!


This stamp is called "Over The Moon", I had to remove the text when I printed it because I knew it was going to get at least partially covered. I printed it onto kraft card and coloured it with polychromos. Her invites were on kraft card, and had bunting, so I wanted to included them somewhere in this card too.

Here is a close up of the centre of the card.


Papers were all from the stash, and mainly freebies from magazines. Flowers from Prima and Wild Orchid. Stars from Shimelle. Bling from stash.

Dies used
Joy - Clouds
Die'sire - Traditional Bunting
X-cut - Butterfly
Marianne - Bird LR0137

Garden Colouring....

I've been looking for a way to use parts of colouring books in my cards, for personal use, so I can do something with the images after I have enjoyed colouring them. It also occurred to me that they'd make pretty nice backgrounds just as they were!

This background image is from The Secret Garden - Available as a free download from The Adult Coloring Club. I have drawn two birds based on an element within the "colouring image" to make a feature for the card and added diecut bunting (Die'sire) , fence and watering can (Trimcraft). Birds and fork handles coloured with copics. They are meant to be a male and female bullfinch! :)
