CAS WEDDING CARD

Good afternoon lovely bloggers - hope you are all having a happy week. 

It's wet wet wet in this part of Yorkshire, but the leaves are turning into the most gorgeous Autumn colours, which really brightens the day.

************* 

I am just popping by to share a Wedding card a friend has ordered - she is going to a

Wedding in Florida quite soon, and asked for something simple and elegant, with a splash of colour to match the bridesmaid's dresses.  Who says simple cards are easy to make?!! I do hope she will like it!! 

********

Recipe: -

Very Vanilla cardstock from Stampin' Up - a mixture of textured and smooth.

Nestie Labels 18. 

Anna Griffin Sentiment inked with Onyx Black Versafine and heat embossed.

Deep purple satin ribbon.

Nestie Fancy Tags 2 separated down the centre and placed under the folded ribbon.

Eazi Score Board used to create two simple lines of embossing at the top and bottom of the card.

Two cream pearls to finish.

*********

I printed the insert with personalised details, and a simple heart and pearl embellishment bearing the wedding date - (of course I can't share due to privacy reasons).

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges:-

Lexi's Creations- Just a Sentiment.

CES Challenge - New Beginnings.

HEARTS AT LESS IS MORE - AND IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK!

Good afternoon lovely bloggers - hope you are all having a happy weekend. I have really missed you all and it's great to be back. I will get around to see what you have all been up to, as soon as I finish the ironing! 

Just popping by with a card for this week's challenge at Less is More. 

It's a one-layer card week, and Mandi and Chrissie are asking us to use HEARTS, which I absolutely love!

Update!! 19th October - my card made the Top 3 at Creative Inspirations

Recipe:-

I have used three shades of Versacolor inks (the small square ones) in Lapis Lazuli, Topaz and Cardinal, "direct to paper", shading each colour slightly from light to dark by using less or more pressure on the pad. Hence the rather random look!

After several failed attempts at measuring the spacing of the inking, I decided to go for it "by eye" - wish I had done that to begin with!

The tiny heart is from the French Mail clear stamp set by Crafty Secrets.

Sentiment is from Hot off the Press.
I would also like to enter my card into the Creative Inspirations Challenge - A Single Layer Card.

Just thought I would share this holiday pic. with you - the life-size dress form was standing outside a gift shop and I couldn't resist taking a photo of it. It was covered with fabric flowers and looked so pretty - very fashionable in the crafting world at the moment - thought you might like it!
