Hello and Happy Weekend everyone!
I have finally finished the Golden Wedding Card I needed to make - we are going to my husband's Uncle and Auntie's party this evening - I hope they like their card. Because this card is for a special celebration I am entering it in this week's Creative Card Crew and Cute Card Thursday Challenges.
I have finally finished the Golden Wedding Card I needed to make - we are going to my husband's Uncle and Auntie's party this evening - I hope they like their card. Because this card is for a special celebration I am entering it in this week's Creative Card Crew and Cute Card Thursday Challenges.
I have made a shadow box card - I just think they are so perfect for special occasions like this - I used a decorated vellum paper for the backing behind the numbers - there are some butterflies on the vellum, so I'm going to enter this card in this week's Charisma Cardz Challenge - it is a gorgeous paper IRL but, unfortunately, most of the butterflies got covered with the numbers - hope you can see some in the photos though - probably best to look at the first photo at the top of this post! I used a template for the shoe.
I actually found the paper I used for the numbers and the shoe insole at the bottom of a box of crafty stuff - it was some wrapping paper I'd saved from a present about 3 years ago (does that mean I'm a hoarder or just a savvy crafter?? lol!!). So I can also enter this week's A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge.
I attempted to make a ribbon flower - I was pleased with it, but thought it needed something added to it, so added a gold rose on top of it. I see lots of crafters using gorgeous decorative pins on their cards - I don't own any of those, so made my own using dressmakers pins and beads - the pins aren't very long but I hope they will stay on the card, think I've used enough glue gel to hold! So because I've added flowers I am entering the Crafty Calendar and Cupcake Craft Challenges.
I'm also showing a second photo of one of the Mother's Day cards I made - I've tweaked it a bit, by adding some pleated ribbon and pearls and gone over the sentiment with a Sakura Clear Stardust pen to make it glittery! I'm so much happier with this card now. But sorry about the blurred photo - can't re-take it as I've sealed the card in its envelope (teach me to check the photo first (lol!)!
That's all from me for now. See you soon. Have a fabulous weekend, and a Happy Mother's Day tomorrow to all you wonderful mothers!
