It's been so long since I have posted just for fun or for a couple of Challenges. But I find myself with some time and creativity to do just that! YAY!
This is a Wedding card that I made for an online BFF's son who will be marrying the love of his life in early November. YAY for love! I don't know them in person but I do know their colors are navy and shades of pink/rose/burgundy.....I think.....it's been a loooooong summer!
I will enter this into the Challenges at; Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes, Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Favorite Stamps and Scrapy Land, Anything Goes.
The front of the card uses 2 simple hearts. Embossed in Black and White sparkly glitter powders. They are from the PTI stamp set, Love & Marriage. The Designer Paper is also by PTI, In Bloom.
I topped each heart with sheer ribbon bows with pearl centers.
The die cut heart border on the left as well as the hearts on the right are by Stampin' Up!, Love Notes.
I decided to add a Shaker Box on the inside of this card, I don't think I have ever done that before, it's pretty cool! I hand cut a frame and backed it with Fun Foam. My Bride and Groom are embossed in Black and White powders (why I did not use Navy I have no idea....grrrrr) they are from the Gina K Designs, I Do set. I framed the Shaker in with a Poppystamps die, Dogwood Blossom Corner. Bravo Burgundy ink. Sheer Ribbon, Sequins, Beads, Glitter.
This was FUN and has the feel of a little book.
Just think Nancy, by the time you're a Mother In Law I should be a Nana!
Thanks for popping in and showing some love!
Enjoy~~

Beautiful card, Donna! I thought the front was fantastic (and made for an unusual wedding card). Then I tried looking around your card front for the shaker element, and couldn't find it. FINALLY, I scrolled down (duh!) and saw you amazing interior! What a keep sake! Loving the ways your depiction of the bride and groom have been done, and in the midst of lots of celebratory confetti. BEAUTIFUL card, Donna. It will be treasured in your friend's son's wedding album. You are SO THOUGHTFUL. hugs, de
