Hi Everybody,
This must be a plea that most of us have heard on a regular basis ... and this one came from my youngest daughter two days before we were going away on our train adventure.
She wanted a wedding card in rose pink with flowers, glitter and a matching box ... so not much there then !!
So here is what I created for her to give to her friends on their wedding day and I hope they liked it.
The ribbon is wired and makes beautiful bows
The dies I have used are from the Californian Collection by Sue Wilson
I got all mine from JGDCrafts They are a UK company but they will ship around the world
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and they have a wonderful selection to choose from
They have been sparkled with Glitter Magic
I made the box to compliment the card and added the ribbon around it ... both bows have a diamante and pearls sparkler in the centres
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Love the card - the ribbon makes just makes it so different. My Sister celebrated her 60th birthday yesterday so I had to make,not only my card for her but another for our 91yr old Mother to give her. I did a vintage styled 'star' card with matching box for Mum and I gave her a pop-up slider card with butterflies with matching envelobox and giftbag. It's nice to make something really special.

Wow Christina if you made this card two days before your left for your trip..you made one beautiful wedding card...The ribbon is perfect and I hope that your daughter loved it...
ReplyDeleteWell done
What an elegant card (and box). Your daughter is so blessed to have you available.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the matching box for the card. I have made presentation boxes for my other art love and I think boxes for cards, especially ones that you put soo much work into, is a wonderful idea. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteJackie Brockett
I cannot imagine anyone NOT liking this gorgeous card, and to do it in such a short time .... outstanding! my hands are a bit dodgy (arthritis) so to make bot the card and the box ... I reckon I would need a week! lol! It is all so very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Karen xx
Hi Christina
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning wedding card you made in the short time you had. Simply wonderful.
Christina,
ReplyDeleteAmazing set. Those Sue Wilson dies are so gorgeous. You did print your sentiment prior to cutting it with a die...correct? The ribbon is the perfect compliment to your roses.
Lovely card and so different from the normal white, cream or pastels used for a wedding card. Your daughter must have been pleased with the result?!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Christine x
ReplyDeleteSorry - Christina. Slip of the finger x
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the newly-weds truly enjoyed your card; there wouldn't have been any other like it! How nice that you were able to "whip one up" on such short notice, too. BethAnn M
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful Christina,I'm sure it will become a treasured keepsake for the couple!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I love that dusty rose color. I hope the friends told your daughter how much they loved the card and box, so she was able to pass that along to you. It does the ole heart good to know that you've pleased someone..and that someone appreciates the time and effort it takes to make these things. Your followers definitely appreciate your talent.
ReplyDeleteGreat design So beautiful is your card xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and box Christina, heard the same thing but from both my boys in the same weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty Christine, what a lucky daughter. Thanks for sharing. Dianne
