Wedding card




A friend who plays badminton with my husband recently got married in Hong Kong but are due to have their second "do" here in the UK in London on Sunday. Unfortunately, as it's Mother's Day we've had to say "no" to going but I have made them a card. I've been dreading making it all week as they sent a copy of their Hong Kong and London invites and they are so posh. It's made me so nervous but I have eventually done it.

The card base is a piece of Tapestry card from Joanna Sheen's website. I've had it for some months but felt it was too nice to use but I thought this card justified the use of some. The image is from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Romance CD and I have decoupaged it up by copying and pasting the image into Word and printing the size out four times for a decent height. I've toned the image with some different backing papers, a sentiment typed on the computer, an organza ribbon and a ribbon/bow/bead embellishment. Inside there is a verse on the first sheet, on the second sheet the "I love you truly" extract has been saved and imported into My Craft Studio to make a backing paper and this was printed on pearlescent paper and the final backing sheet is vellum whereby I have embossed all four corners with the Craftroom Workstation.

I just hope they like it!!
