I put a layer of VERY thick vellum I had from an estate agents house folder!!!!! over a hammered card after I had cut it out with a border by Birdscards.com I added the hearts myself, then cut out a scroll with a file also by Birdscards.com. I then added text I made up in Fairycuts. I embossed both the scroll and the text with Cuttlebug folders I added a varigated ribbon from Hallmark and added a few flowers from my stash. I added Glamour dust for a littel sparkle and I am pleased with the effect, I hope her day will be happy. I thought that "It's Your Day" conveys no matter what happens, it IS her day.
I'm sorry the photos are not too good, I had to make it tonight and post it tomorrow as the wedding has had to be rushed through because of the sad circumstances.
I am going to enter the following challenges with this card

I haven't any pattern on paper on the card!
I do have ribbon and I hope the Glamour dust is the Bling!

Faith this is such a beautiful card. The ribbon showing through those hearts is such a lovely touch. Thanks for sharing it with our recycling challenge at Unstampabelles.

ReplyDelete£150 is nothing compared to the rest Ruby has cost over the years what with her amputation, broken front left leg, cruciate repair, grass seed extraction from her face and not forgetting her daily thyroid, anti inflammatory and incontinent meds!!! Oh and her quarterly blood tests!!! All I can say is thank goodness for pet insurance!! I think I'm in the wrong business lol xx
Very pretty! Love the softness of it! Thanks for sharing with us at Craft Your Passion!
