Wedding Wishes

Good morning

My eldest daughter was asked to be a bridesmaid for her friends mum who was re-marrying this week.  The wedding was up in Scotland and they are travelling home as I type.

This is the card I made:

The base card I used is a beautiful pearlescent cream card.  The deep red is the colour of the bridesmaids dresses.  I embossed some cardstock with a cuttlebug folder and die cut the flowers, leaves and butterflies using Marianne dies.  A pearl was added to complete the flower, a ribbon bow and a co-ordinating rub-on sentiment were used to complete the card.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Ruby Wedding

Just a quick post today after all the issues with blogger. I haven't half missed visiting all the usual blogs today.

This is a card I made for some friends Ruby Wedding Anniversary this weekend.

The layout is similar to the WOW card I made earlier this week, but this time I used my new Marianne English Roses die for the flowers. I tried to roll some tighter than others so they were more like buds.

The inside of the card was decorated to co-ordinate with the front. The card has been delivered this evening and I'm delighted to say they loved it.

Great excitement building in our house tonight in anticipation of the FA cup final tomorrow. I've promised Emma I'll watch it with them and am actually quite looking forward to it. Go City (Manchester City that is!).
