Wedding invitation #7

Probably the simplest one of them all. just some lace, a bow and a diamante heart.The lace is really pretty and has a sparkly thread running through it, which unfortunately isn't showing up in the photo's.

Wedding invitation #6

Once again a nice and easy invitation, a couple of squares of card, a bit of embossing and all layered up with ribbon between layers. I added the feather because the top looked a bit bare, but you could print the names above the ribbon and the date below and leave the feather off.

Wedding invitation #4

Here we are back to the wedding invitations and today I have one that is a little more complicated, looks good, but if you had 50 or 60 to make you wouldn't want all the fiddling around this one entails, wouldn't be too bad for a small wedding though.

Wedding Invitation #3

Firstly I would like to wish my beautiful daughter a happy 30th birthday, have a great day Stacy.  OMG! I can't believe I am a mother to a 30 year old, makes me feel ancient LOL!

Today's wedding invitation is another simple design, made more luxurious by the use of beautiful cream lace and a diamante ribbon slider and diamante heart embellishment stuck together to make a super blingy topper.

Wedding Day card

Still on the wedding theme but an actual Wedding Day card today instead of an invitation today. I had seen these heart bride and grooms around blog land and decided that I would have a go at making a card using them., although it mainly came about because I made a Civil Partnership card for a friend to give to her son and his partner on their wedding day, and the groom was a practice piece before making the larger and different coloured ones for the actual card.
The groom heart seemed a bit lonely lying around in my craft room so I decided to make him a mate and put them on a card, so that they can be together forever  awww! LOL!

The "bride" was made using a piece of pink scrap card I had lying around, but next time I think I would use a more fleshy colour.
