Wedding card

Thought I’d go for something a little bit different to all the pastels etc etc for the Cup Cake Craft Challenge this week where the theme is weddings … I used a HOTP white heart brad with a bit of scrap paper and then used my bug to emboss divine swirls onto two contrasting pieces of card to tie in with the swirls in the top of the heart. Mounted on a Christmas blank it looks quite effective IMHO! Could double up as an anniversary card or even a Valentine card although I don’t sell many of them for my charities. I like cards that can do several things!

DPDC5

The challenge theme for DPDC5 over at Doodle Pantry Challenge blog is  to USE A DOODLE PANTRY IMAGE and at Pollycraft the challenge is to use pastel colors.  I have used this fab free sentiment from Doodle Pantry with a scrap of paper that had been knocking around for a bit (can’t remember the name of the paper I’m afraid) and a beautiful Henbury Lane Butterfly. I like these butterflies but they are felt and very difficult to stick and give some depth … so I am now covered in silicon glue. There is a die-cut out there that I may invest in as card butterflies are easier than felt! The colours don’t show too well … gone a bit pink … must research how to photograph my cards better!

Here’s the sketch it was based on
