Wedding

Hi to all and I hope your all having a good day.

I have now finished my sons wedding card and box and would like to show you my results. For the past two days I have been struggling with this wedding card, as it had to be just perfect. Sorry had trouble taking pictures, no matter how I tried I kept getting shadows or too much shine.


In the UK I bought these little creamy white flowers (the ones with the sparkly bit in the middle) and wanted to incorporate them into the design, well trying to get them to stay were I wanted was a nightmare, in the end I had to get the silicon glue out, then pack little objects round them till they set and I had to do the same on the box aggg I hate waiting and these had to be left overnight, but success it worked.

I also sprayed the flowers and paper with pearl glimmer mist and left to dry over night too. I added sparkle to wedding dress and tiara with a silver glitter pen also to the front of the dress and flowers I add tiny gem stones. This is on of Linnie's images and can be found Here

The box is one I had laying around which had green leafs on, I sanded it all down and covered it with white mulberry paper then covered it again in matching wedding paper from K and Co called Elegance and adorned it with the same flowers and pearls, a bigger size pearls as the little ones looked odd.

Wedding Card and some Challenges

Hi Everyone
Well this week I have not had time to blog at all, I have only in the past day or so got back from Abu Dab then I had a commissioned card to finish for my friends daughters wedding on the 5th, plus another two wedding cards to finish, so its been all go since then.

I also have my husbands cousin arriving on Saturday, her self and her hubby are on a cruises that tours the Middle East and they get to stop at Bahrain for 8 hours so I will pick them up and give the a quick tour of Bahrain then back to our place for lunch
This also gives them a chance to see Brian as they have not seen him for near 2 years, then I take them back to the ship.

Onto my wedding card and box.




I say box because when I went to put it in the envelope it would not fit because of the flowers duh, I think the box looks much better than the envelope in my opinion.

I used one of Linnies images that she created for her challenge blog Cute Daisy May, the paper is Elegance from K and Co and I inked all the edges in silver to match the silver detail in the image and the sentiment writing that was computer generated.

The inside verse is also computer generated in silver

The box to match is trimmed with Bo Bunny ribbon.

Other details
Medium – Copic
Punch – MS
Pearls – Hobby House
Pin, Flowers - Souk
Charm – Die Cut Dreams
Ink – Color Box
Shimmer – Tattered Angels
Glitter – Copic pens
Leafs - Boss Kut
Corner Punch – Paper Shapers

I have entered it into the following challenges:

Die Cut Dreams – Use two Punch’s

Secret Crafter – Anything Goes

Cute Card Thursday – Anniversaries. I hope my card counts as a celebration of marriage.

Paper Cutz Challenge - Anything goes

I do hope she likes this for her daughter and future son inlaw, as the ones she found in the shop she did not like very much.

Thanks for popping by again and I off to visit you now.

Just Magnolia

Good afternoon ladies, are you having a good day? here it hot, humid and very dusty again, so no doubt I will have half the desert in my house again agggg, a good excuse not to do the dusting lol.

Today I want to show you my very first altered item, I did this for a friends Birthday and I am going to fill it with Body Shop goodies that she likes, I am also entering it in to Just magnolia Challenge.

It started out as a plain green box I had knocking around and covered the base in stripie paper and covered each join with chocolate brown ribbon to hide the joins, then added lace to trim.

I did the same for the inside but used a spotty paer to coordinate with the strips.

The inside of the lid I used the same papers, lace and ribbons as the inside.

The lid I decorated with a Magnolis stamped image which was coloured with Copic and Sakura gell pen.

The papers are Bo Bunny and the ribbon, lace and pin are from down the souk, the flowers are from my stash.

I have to say I am quiet pleased with the results even though it took me 3 days to complete but I did enjoy the challenge and I will definitely to another one. Hope you like it.
Thanks for popping by my place again as I do look forward to your visits.

Hugs
