Wedding Cards..

Hello!
So I had fun the other day at the Craft Expo and the very next day after buying new stuff I was sitting at my desk making cards with the new purchases! That never happens! Alicia was inspiring to me, while I was shopping, cos she has a very different eye for things. E.g. she is so totally up with fashions and popular culture that she encouraged me to buy things I may have thought twice about. Well I did love this particular Chandelier stamp but Alicia really encouraged me to get it cos she thought it was awesome. Then she suggested that I make Black and White Wedding Cards and I went off on a tangent after that. I bought some paint on white shimmer paint, Hero Arts wedding stamps and I used my newly purchase doily dies to make some Wedding Cards that are totally different to other Wedding Cards I have made in the past. And I love them!I shimmered the Bride's dress and the black background paper on this one. It looks really pretty IRL! I dug out this vellum BG paper which I have had for probably like 6 or 7 years! I was so happy to be getting to use it! I also love the font of the sentiments in this set, so pretty!
And of course Stampin Up's "Well Scripted" set has the most beautiful "Congratulations" stamp and I couldn't resist using it! Here I've used the doily edge die cuts too, so sweet!
And lastly I used the doily die to cut the vellum circles and stamped the SU Congratulations over the top, finished off with some "Mr & Mrs" ribbon and jewels and voila! Beautiful!
Hope you like them!

Wow Charlotte, I LOVE the wedding cards. They are so classy and elegant. I love the sophisticated black and silver look. They are so totally unhandmade....is that a compliment? I meant it as one.

Love Mum
