French Alps Engagement

Hi Everyone, my card today was for our G Nephews' engagement. A shock to everyone including his Fiancé. They have been living together for about 5 years, but when asked when they were getting married, always just looked at each other and smiled. We are all thrilled, it's such happy news. 

They were engaged on holiday in the French Alps, so that's my theme. I went looking for mountains in my files and found this beauty, it was on a background paper, but I isolated and copied the single mountain to use.

Next I looked for snow and decided on this, then what do I do with the French part? I went looking for an image of the French flag on the web, and this heart was amongst them, how lucky was that, of course I had to use it. Then found the blue sky paper as the background.

I took everything into Silhouette and print and cut everything, to size for the 8 x 8 inch card. I cut the heart, then added a layer for the background to the sentiment layer. The mountain was cut with an outline of white, and another outline of silver card to enhance it. The snow layer was next. The fab couple, again in my files, was cut twice from navy card and both layered onto silver card. I used it here too.

I thought it needed something else, so added different size die cut hearts, off cuts from a whole die.  I'm glad to say they loved it, and the fact it was just as it happened, they said. AW!

I came across a challenge I haven't visited in an age and decided to add to it.

Engagement

Hi Everyone, I have an engagement card for you today, my next door neighbour asked if I would do another 2 engagement cards, for another of her Grandson's, this time they were getting engaged in Corfu, Greece. She wanted on of them exactly like the last one I made for her other Grandson, but without the New York theme here. Which I did no problem, won't show it as it's near enough the same!

The card had to represent Greece and she brought me a tea towel from Greece, to show me what she wanted. It had black olives and the Greek Keys pattern. So that is what I went with and I also went with a Greek looking font "Achilles" for this one and put the Corfu map behind the images. I fussy cut the olives and leaves, for some reason Cameo was offsetting the cut, so had to do it the hard way! I'm glad to say she loved them both.

Engagement card.

Hi Everyone, my next door neighbour asked if I would do an engagement card for her nephew, they had gone to New York and he proposed to her there. She wanted something to do with Frank Sinatra as the young lady concerned hadn't heard of him??????????

Anyhow, this is what I came up with, I'm glad to say my neighbour was pleased with it. Hope the couple are! I added part of the words from the song New York, New York which I thought was apt for the occasion, after all it will be a brand new start for them.

I had the couple image from the web a free download of lots of couple images. I added it to the Cameo and cut it out from black card. I had the skyline from the web and heat embossed it after printing it out. A few die cuts, and embossing and plenty of bling and it was done - ah! if only it had been that easy.

Everything went wrong, a bottle of glue run out, the other wouldn't flow, I put the bling through the Xyron sticker 3 times, as the first 2 had sticky on the wrong side, I had to print it out 3 times, as I cut the black card wrongly around the edge, then added it to the card upside down! It's a wonder I didn't throw it.

Engagement Card

We had wonderful news at the weekend when my Great Niece rang to me to tell to buy a hat! her boyfriend had got down on one knee and asked her to marry him, she had no idea he was going to propose. He even bought the ring which she was thrilled to find fitted beautifully. He felt after moving into their own house recently and finishing the changes they wanted to make and a Christmas tree up, it was romantic to ask her in their newly finished and decorated for Christmas room. We were so thrilled for them.

Here is the card I made for them, I had to incorporate the Christmas theme didn't I? I laid it out and coloured the image in Photoshop, I saved the frame and image to a png file and print and cut on the Cameo, 3D'd it onto the card. I followed the April 2015 TSB Digisketch Challenge sketch which I turned. I added a gem onto the ring in the image.
