Wedding in Mint

Personalised wedding cards are fun to do and can be quite unique. This card is based on a box card design and I pulled out my Sizzix to cut a variety of shapes. Most of the shapes are cut from white cardstock including flowers, swirls and butterflies. A couple of the butterflies were cut from a mint patterned paper that I thought looked quite elegant. I then dug out a little water pen and used a mint inkpad to lightly colour my various flowers to add some dimension to the flowers. Layering it all up I then added the names of the special couple and a bold congratulatory wedding message. Elegant, sophisticated and beautiful. Congratulations on your wedding Kathryn and Nicholas.

You mean the world to me

This card was a little tricky to make courtesy of choosing a flower that didn't quite want to match up exactly, so maybe don't look too closely but I think I got away with it. I used Kraft cardstock and stamped a design in black ink on the front of the card. Then I used a shaped die and cut out a shape so that some of the black image was cut out so that the coloured image could be seen through the resulting space. I then stamped the same design on white cardstock in coloured inks trying to get it exactly in the same place as the image on the Kraft cardstock. Then I mounted the Kraft card on the white card using 3d foam pads to lift the image off the card and add some dimension, being careful to line it up as best I could. I then accented the card with a stamped sentiment and bird and a stamped bird.
