A Bit Different for a Wedding!


Greetings to one and all!
I hope today finds everyone well. I have been a bit on the absent side in blogland just lately but I am determined to change that! I have been busy making wedding cards and I now have a display of my cards on sale in a local wedding car business :)
So today's share is a wedding card!
I think of the twenty-something cards I took there last night, only one was a traditional all white card! What can I say? I march to my own beat!






So this is on an 8x8 cream coloured card blank, with brown pearlescent and ivory pearlescent card layered on it.  The butterfly in the background and the Eiffel tower die cut in the centre are both actually from wall paper!  It is the paper I have on my craft room walls and I love it! I think it is elegant and so it seems perfectly at home on a wedding card.  The sentiment stamped in the bottom left corner was double stamped in vintage photo and gold embossing powder so that it has a shadowed effect.  The gardenia and the roses are from Wild Orchid, the ribbons and the charm are from my stash.  As always, I could not resist the obligatory three gems in the corner but I went with pearls as they say wedding to me more than sparkly gems do-it's been a while since I went to a wedding mind you!
Stamp is by Visible Image (not sure it is available anymore though as they stopped all sentiments and then are bringing new ones out)
Wallpaper was from Wilkinsons.
Thank you for stopping by, please let me know what you think I do love reading your comments :)
