Wedding cards

Here are the Wedding cards I made but couldn't show last week.
This first one I made for Faith to give to her Daddy. I used a Popcorn Bear pyramage image from a Crafter's Companion Cd. It's layered up onto a matching backer and silver card. The sentiment is a peel-off on pearlescent paper.

The insert is printed fom the same Popcorn Bear floral cd.
This is the one we sent.
It has layers of silver card, pink pearlescent paper and cream pearlescent paper. The heart stamp is from Elusive Images and has been stamped with pink Brilliance ink and layered onto silver card cut slightly larger than the image. Tiny silver seed beads have been threaded and hung from each heart to give some movement to the card.
The sentiment is from the same stamp sheet and has again been layered onto silver card.
Tiny self adhesive crystals have been put in the corners of the sentiment plate and top cream layer.


The decoration for the envelopes are from Crafter's Cmpanion Cd's. The bottom one obviously matches Faith's card but i'm not sure where the other is from - maybe one of their Cute Companions Cd's

Can you guess the theme of the Wedding was pink and silver?

Crafter's Companion #6

This time on Crafter's Companion challenge the sketch is from Anne.

I have used the ATC I made for the challenge on my previous post as a topper. I simply backed it with pink paper to make it stand out from the rest of the card.

The floral backing paper and decoupaged image are both from the Popcorn Bear Floral Cd. The pearlescent pink backing paper is from a paper pack also by Crafty Companions.

I added 3 self adhesive gems, a peel-off greeting and an organza bow.

I'm very pleased as I have managed to do a card each week for this challenge blog so far, hope I can continue.

Christening card

This is a card I made to celebrate the Christening of our 2 year old great niece at the weekend. The artwork is a free download from Rusty Alfrey designs and can be found here. Do take a look at this blog as there are some super designs.
I manipulated the image with a Photo program to get it the right colour and size (clever eh? It started out blue) It was then printed onto pearlescent paper and layered onto pink card.
The white card blank is A5 size and has been covered with a mat of pale pink card and white pearlescent paper the same as the topper. A double layer of different widths of pink organza ribbon have been attached across the corner of the larger matting and a pink organza bow on the corner of the topper. A simple peel-off sentiment completes the card.

Anniversary wishes

It was our 35th Wedding Anniversary earlier in the month, this is the card I made for Mick using Popcorn Bear Floral cd. I've printed the image onto cream pearlescent paper and decoupaged the layers with foam pads.

This is on a background of spotty vellum from Making Cards magazine which has been held in place at the corners with a touch of glue covered with a self adhesive pink gem.
The border is from the same cd and the greeting is a peel-off. All on an A5 cream card.

Wedding wishes

For this I used a combination of stamping and printed images both on pearlescent paper.
The A5 card is cream pearlescent and has silver mirror board layered onto it. The backer is from the Artylicious filigree Cd by Elusive Images. I shrunk it down to an A5 size.
The stamped hearts and sentiment are from the same people, from their With Love set of unmounted stamps.
They are stamped in pearl grey ink by Colour Box. Tiny beads in grey and pale pink have been attached to each heart.
Not a great photo for this one which is a pity as the pearlescent paper is really lovely in real life.

I've just re-placed this with what appears to be a slightly better image.

New Home Bear

This card is made entirely from the Popcorn Bear Floral Cd by Crafter's Companion. Popcorn looking through the window seemed appropriate for a new home card.

The backer is printed on ordinary copier paper while the twisted pyrimage is printed on cream pearlescent paper to give a lovely soft sheen to the image. Its 6 layers are mounted up on foam tape so luckily it doesn't have to go through the post. All mounted onto an A5 hammered cream card.

Again re-placed by a slightly better image which does at least show the sheen of the pearescent paper a little.
