Sunday Snippets - Wedding Wishes

It's very rare for me to have reason to make Wedding cards - this is for a lovely blogging friend who got married earlier this week:

I used:

- 5.75" x 5.75" white card blank, side opening

- a whole piece of 'Burnished Rose' card from Craft Perfect's 'Moonlight & Rose' - a very pretty shade of pale rose in satin mirror finish (even though it looks pale gold in every photo I've taken!) - trimmed to just slightly smaller than the card front

- a whole piece of 'Frosted Silver' card from the same pad. trimmed to just slightly smaller than the 'Burnished Rose' piece of card

- a piece of white card, dry embossed using an X-Cut 'Polka Hearts' folder and trimmed to just slightly smaller than the silver layer

- then glued all three layers onto the card front and set to making the embellishments

- die cut the heart twice from more 'Burnished Rose' card using a Tattered Lace die called 'Filigree Heart' - to my delight the intricate little pieces stayed firmly in place so I just glued both layers together and set them aside

- next I used a snippet of the 'Frosted Silver' card to die cut two linked Wedding bands before glueing them together and setting them aside - the die is unbranded 

- finally, using snippets of 'Burnished Rose' card I die cut the sentiment words twice and layered them together. Both dies are Heffy Doodle ones called appropriately enough 'wedding' and 'wishes' (psst, look closely enough and you'll probably see that the fonts are different)

- all that was left was to place the die cuts where I wanted them and then glue them in place. The heart itself was lifted up using thin sticky pads

This is a gorgeous paper pad and I squirrel every little snippet in a 'halved envelope' pouch inside the back cover - hence finding the ones I used for the sentiment and rings.

I'd like to enter this card into Darnell's NBUS Challenge #65 - the heart, rings and sentiment dies were all having a first outing

Dudley Pupdate: He's such a rascal! We had a food delivery mid-week and Dudley was doing his sentry duty malarky with Honks in his mouth at the top of the stairs whilst the delivery driver was unloading. I turned from my desk and said - 'Go on then, say hello Dudley' - and off he bounced down the stairs as if to say 'I haf permission to show you my favourite duck'!! And presented the driver with his beloved Honka! Sob, SO cute. I think the delivery driver would have adopted him on the spot given a chance.

Very importantly, we have a new Challenge #487 being run by our lovely Sarn over HERE! Do please come and play - the more, the merrier!

Love from myself and Dudley, xxx
