I was recently asked to make a wedding card and was given free rein with both design and colours. GULP! Sometimes having this much freedom can be more difficult than when customers are specific about what they want, but I decided to try a few ideas and let her choose a favourite.
Which one would you choose?
If your selection matches the actual card chosen then your name will go into a draw for a wee crafty prize.
Deadline midnight GMT Sunday 22nd July.

Design 1
A linen effect white card
base decorated with blue and white diecut hearts layered onto diecut blue and
silver mirri card, embellished with a simple bow and greeting.
Inside shows diecut panels and a simple stamped message.
Design 2
I created an off centre gatefold from A4 white linen card, adding a panel of textured burgundy card and a matching Kanban wedding topper. A simple bow and stamped greeting are the only decoration.
The slim panel shows white padded hearts and satin ribbon matted onto layers of white and burgundy card.
Inside, a panel of white linen card has been corner punched and decorated with diamante gems before being matted onto burgundy card and stamped with a greeting.
I'd like to submit this card as my first entry to
Sparkles Monthly Challenges - 34 Weddings
Design 3
I opened an image from my flowers folder in PSP (PaintShop Pro), and typed a greeting before printing onto white linen cardstock, which gives a look almost like canvas. Both elements were then matted onto silver mirri.
White organza ribbon was wrapped around the fold on a landscape base card and tied in a bow with pearl gems added for decoration.
The inside message was stamped onto white linen card before being matted onto silver textured card and placed inside.
I'm hoping this card is eligible for entry into
Southern Girls Challenge 48 - Pearls
Sparkles Monthly Challenges - 34 Weddings (2nd entry)
Design 4
I created an easel card base from cream cardstock and opened another beautiful rose image in PSP, adding a greeting onto the image before printing this time.
The easel card panels were then decorated with pretty paper from Papermania Confetti pack, matted onto black and gold mirri and the main image was then adhered to the front panel with foam pads.
Wide cream organza ribbon was wrapped around the back and tied in a knot and a matching bow was added to the image panel.
The stopper was created using more layered panels of paper and card adhered to the base with foam pads before being decorated with paper flowers, pink ribbon bows and pretty iridescent fabric butterflies.
A greeting was stamped and embossed with gold powder, then diecut and matted onto black and gold card.
A matching box completes the ensemble as this card is way too bulky for an envelope.
I'm entering this card into
