Love......Forever & Always

My hubby asked me to make a wedding card for one of his employees who is leaving this week to get married in Punta Cana. They are a young couple so the one image I do have was very appropriate for them I thought. I used a digital image from The Greeting Farm called Kissy Kissy and I decided to play along with TGF's Farm Fresh Friday's Friday Spy Day - Tag Your It Challenge.

I saw a few cards done this way - using the image in plain black and white with no colouring and wanted to try it. I couldn't use no colour at all though, so I used a couple copics - R21 for the cheeks, R000 for the flowers in her hair, and BG0000 for the ribbon on her dress. I then added some Star Dust Stickles to them and to the lace trim at the bottom of her dress. Just before adding the Stickles I spritzed the image with some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz. I hope they like it :)

Best Wishes

Hello - Geesh, time is just flying by. Would you believe I had this card in my mind for so long and of course, the night before the wedding, whipped it off under pressure!! And it came together so easily - no layouts or challenges - just an idea in my head for a change, LOL!! I have been meaning to do this card for so long, but have this printer that uses like 5 or 6 cartridges and when one runs out, you can't use it GRRRR! Even if you just want to print black - it just won't do it till you replace whatever empty cartridge regardless. So I had got this digi image from The Greeting Farm and finally got to my hubby's shop and printed it there last week and then Thursday evening began the card for the wedding the next evening :-)

This was for my hubby's half sister who now lives in New Zealand, but she came home for her wedding. She went to teach in Auckland and met a wonderful guy and has made Aukland her home. I knew the colours of the wedding involved yellow and pewter and it turned out that her wedding dress was a very very pale shade of yellow and the bridesmaid dresses were pewter so I was so happy that I chose to make the colours the way I did for the card.

I used The Greeting Farm's digital image called 'Kissy Kissy' and the dp is Basic Grey's Origins. The grooms shoes were shined up with a Sakura clear glaze pen and the bride's flowers and ribbon on her dress got a little bit of sparkle from a clear Spica glitter pen.

The dress and flowers were coloured with a Y11 copic and the blender pen.

For the Happy Couple

I made this card for my very good friend Paula's wedding day. I stamped the hearts with versamark and embossed with white ep, cut them out and popped them with some 3D dots. I used a crop-a-dile to punch the holes for the eyelets and hung them from some string which was tied to the ribbon. I also used some jewelled brads to adhere the sentiment. I'm entering this in Amy Rysavy's ATG Contest Giveaway over at Prairie Paper and Ink.

Here Comes the Bride

I'm really excited about this card which I just finished this week. This is one of my 'Wow, I did it' moments. This card is for my other sister in law who is getting married on Sept. 4, 2010 - in Vegas!! And yes I'm going!! Anyway - I'm so happy with how it turned out! She is not wearing white, her dress is blue so I wanted to give Emma's dress a blue tinge. The Diamond Stickles really seemed to pick up on the blue as well. I got the coloring idea from Amy Rysavy at Prairie, Paper and Ink. I love her layouts and her copic tips really help me too.
