Wedding card

I have friends that after a 24 year long engagement (yeah you read that right!)  have decided that the time is right for them to now get married! and as my friend is one that  defies convention at the best of times I decided that a less traditional  card was maybe the option to go with.

So I found at the back of a drawer these fabulous steampunk stamps that just cried out to be used as a wedding card ,an impulse buy that has never been used....

I just highlighted them with a grey and pink ink and used promarkers for the skin and a clearly besotted sentiment but wishing now that I had left off the two hearts ????

 This is something so different for me, but I kinda enjoyed using something different for a change|!

Thanks for popping in for a look

Timeout

This week  I was asked to do a card for a Silver Wedding by a work colleague and when I made it I didn't like where I was going to put the sentiment so as I had already stuck everything down decided to make another .

 This is the original  one  which was sentiment-less until I decided it would also do nicely as a wedding card so popped on a SU tiny tags Mr &Mrs and used a SU paper piercing stencil for the heart.The champagne glasses are diecut on glimmer paper and all popped up on a mounted square.

So was well chuffed when I then found out that the challenge this week is at Timeout is ......

'Happy is the Bride the Sun Shines on' :)

Thanks for taking the time to look

Pinstripe wedding card

This week at CAS.ology the cue card is stripe and had a few ideas that were floating about but it wasn't til I saw the challenge at The Card Concept -to create a wedding card, that it all came together... at weddings you see pinstripes ,morning suits  - well maybe not here in Scotland where it does tend to be kilts ,though have to say that my husband wore a morning suit for our wedding 27years ago.

So to get back to the card as friends will tell you I do tend to wander of the point at times!...thats where I got my idea from for the stripes on my card.Paper pierced around the hearts so that hopefully they pop a bit more on the card. The flowery flourish and the sentiment from SU I thought fit neatly into the card concept challenge photo inspiration but not sure exactly what style of card it fits in ...clean and layered ? I would love to think it would fit in the Classy and Elegant one,never done one of those before!

Realise that the photo is a bit on the dark side but when I used Picasa it turned the card base pink!

Hope you have a lovely weekend and thanks for looking

Happy Birthday LIM!

Kraft & Kreme

To-day is the Less is More challenge and its also their 2nd birthday so Happy Birthday to you all and well done and to many more birthdays!

This was the first ever challenge I took part in and do try to do it every week when time and inspiration allows ,and boy I'm glad I did! what a lot I have learnt from the divas and from the rest of you bloggers. (Though I had to laugh when I remarked to my youngest son that he spent too much time on face book and he quick as flash said" it's not that much different from your blogger ,I chat with my friends and so do you" and he's right I have made new friends through blogging, world wide)
But I digress so back to my card ,after last weeks hair tearing this one made itself practically ...Kraft is something that I rarely use so all I had was a piece about 3x3 in my scrap paper!
Punched my hearts and squares stamped the stripes, spots (Confetti) the tag and sentiment  (Tiny tags) all SU pierced two holes and threaded through some scrap raffia and tag.
Thinking to put it away for our anniversary later on in the year for hubby,and would definitely use Kraft more often now !
Now off to have a peep at all of yours x
