A friend of mine commissioned me to make a wedding card for her boss. I love making wedding cards. It is an honor for me to create a keepsake that will be held dearly for such a long time.
I took inspiration for this from Alicia Thelin's card on page 54 of Paper Crafts Magazine's 75 Creative Card Challenges. I included very similar elements as she did: woodgrain, round doily shape, hearts, leaves. I added a bow, did not add pearls (gasp!), and glittered some of my hearts.
All-white cards are rather challenging to photograph, and some areas become washed out, but I hope you can see the details in this:
A close-up of The Cluster. I used tiny dots of Liquid Pearls along the leaves' veins, and glittered those little hearts. I spy some stray specks of glitter.
I'm entering this in the Simon Says Stamp 'White on White' challenge.
Thanks for coming by!

This is gorgeous!! Love the woodgrain background, and all the fabulous white!!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazingly gorgeous, Colleen! I was wondering if you were feeling feverish when you wrote tat you didn't add any pearls, but I see that you used Liquid Pearls instead--now that's more like it. Couldn't be a "Colleen" card without them!!!
