I Tried Something New

Hello my dear friends,

my eldest niece is going to get married this July in Germany and I won't be able to go to her wedding which is very sad. The next best thing I could think of is to make her a wedding card. I would be able to put my heart into it and make it something special.

I wanted this card to be pretty and elegant, not loud or colorful, just very lovely and subtle. I knew straight away how I wanted the card to look.

I picked several pieces of card, all in neutral tones (some textured, some with patterns and some regular) and I also used some vellum to create my card.

I found a vintage wedding picture from the 1920's on the internet which was just perfect! My idea was coming together slowly. I also decided to use crushed white ribbon and half pearls to add the finishing touches to my design.

I think all of the different items I used really compliment each other and this is the finished card...

I used my flower and a butterfly punches for the embellishments.

I added two small butterflies (to represent my niece and her husband to be) and I punched them from vellum and folded the wings a little to make them stand out from the rest of the card.

This is the actual picture.

For the inside I printed this lovely quote:

Two Hearts,

two Lives,

one Dream ...

together Forever.

I hope my niece will like it!

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!



Have a peaceful and creative day,
