More Wedding Card Photos

Following on from the post yesterday,

here are two far better photos of the Wedding Card.

 

Detailed Front

In the box

A Commissioned Wedding Card

I was asked by a colleague, Lorraine

to make a wedding card for 21st June 2014

for her relatives, Lewis & Rachel.

Here is a photo of the box lid that I made for the card

to be kept in after the big day is over.

 

Here are a few shots of the card.

I made it to resemble a book

and I am VERY happy with the finished piece.

 



 

Lorraine was delighted with it! I was pleased about that!!

I did take a photo of it in the box,

think it must be on my phone.

Materials used;

Tim Holtz hearts dies

& butterfly dies

Silhouette Cameo die cut machine

Martha Stewart Cherry punch

Prima papers

 

Father's Day Card

Happy Father's Day, Dad!!

I made this card for him using my

newest set of Tim Holtz stamps.

 

To make the background, I cut a square slightly smaller

than the card front and applied home made texture paste

through a Crafter's Workshop Harlequin stencil.

I made my own texture paste after watching this brilliant

video on You Tube by Leanne

Comparing H/made texture pastes 



Once my paste was dry (I left it over the day while out at work)

I then sprayed with re-inkers diluted in a little water.

I used Gathered Twigs/Wild Honey dried it and then

sprayed with more Gathered Twigs and Fired Brick,

leaving the bottom left texture free for so I could

stamp the nest and feather.

Both birds and eggs were stamped, coloured using

distress inks and cut out. I used my favourite shades of

Hero Arts shadow inks to stamp the eggs;

Soft Sand & Wet Cement, edging with a little

Cup O'Joe to darken the speckled areas.

I applied a little bit of Viva Décor Ferro in Amber Gold

using my fingers to some of the raised harlequins.

This provided a little more texture and shine.

All the cut outs were added on foam.

I added a slight side view so you can perhaps

get a better view of the dimension.
