First of all I must apologise for not being around much for a few weeks. I had a lovely week in Spain with my sister, but since I came home I been somewhat lacking in inspiration and motivation. My computer is not working very well at present either which hampers my ability to visit blogs and comment as often as I would like.
On the right here, is a photo of my Grandson looking very smart in his dress uniform, and his pretty bride on their wedding day a couple of weeks ago. It was a lovely day of celebration for all the family, and below is the card that I made for them.
I made it green as that was the chosen colour scheme for the wedding. The green backing paper was printed from an Artylicious CD, Season's Greetings and trimmed to fit the front of a 6" square white base card. The silver speckled white panel is cut from a snippet left over from christmas using a Spellbinders Cardmaker die, and threaded with green ribbon before fixing to the card. The heart shape is also cut from a snippet of white card with a Spellbinder die and stamped with a Crafty Individuals flourish using Versamark ink and coloured with a green Pan Pastel. The bride and groom image was printed on the computer as I didn't have a suitable stamp. It was a black and white outline image found on Google images and after printing I added a little colour with Promarkers and a gold gel pen and carefully cut it out and glued it over the heart. The large rose is from my stash and the little ones I made using a Britania die and and snippets of the green background paper, coloured on the reverse with a cream Promarker.The leaves are cut from small snippets of green card with a Sissix die. To finish the card I added a green bow and some tiny green gemstones, and a touch of Diamond Sitckles on the roses.
As I have used up some snippets I will take this over to
Pixies Playground and see what the other playmates have been up to while I've been away.
