Wedding Card

Mum asked for me for a wedding card this week to send to a wedding she can't get to - she asked for it in black and grey (the invite was in that colour combo) and I was bit stumped until I spotted this great inspiration photo at this week's For Your Inspiration Challenge http://foryourinspirationchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/fyi-challenge-32.html

I decided that the addition of white would make the card feel much more weddingy and I took inspiration from the frosty trees and the texture they give to the image to use a textured background.  The bridge then made me thing of my lovely PTI die which has a sort of bridge shape.  Those two together were my main elements for the card which came out like this:

I used a gorgeous spellbinders EF with really textured hearts on it as my background and matted it onto black so it had a really thin black border.  I die cut the the scallops from grey card stock twice to make a border for the sentiment which is by Waltzingmouse.  I embossed that in black for a glossy finish and tinted some large clear gems with a black copic marker to match and set those in the centres of each scallop.

I'm also going to enter this into this weeks Allsorts Challenge which is to use a die http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/week-160-any-die-will-do.html


I decided to decorate tthe inside to match (sorry about the poor photo, forgot to switch the daylight bulb on when I took the shot so the colours are off).  I used a PTI stamp which matches the die using London Fog Momento ink to mirror the outside border and stamped another sentiment from the same Waltzingmouse set as the greeting.

I must remember to decorate the insides more often!
