Good morning, is it Saturday already!
We had another busy week last week with lots of submissions. Even though it means a lot of work for Chrissie and I we do love to see the entries in their hundreds!
Theme week on "Less is More" and we have chosen
By that we really mean we want to see an aperture/hole in your card!
As I still have my wedding head on I kept to that for my design this week.
I made a 6x6" card from white hammer card, then cut an aperture from the centre of the front flap, with a heart die. This particular die is Nellie Snellen Multi Frames Dies Hearts. I used the very plain die from this fab set. I printed Wedding day in Scriptina font which I'd previously printed onto ivory paper from a wonderful set by Pink Petticoat Vintage Rose I used the big roses background in Blossom for one and Ocean for the other. As the paper is ivory I punched daisies from ivory card in 2 sizes. Placing them, I did the top and bottom first, so that I kept the shape and put pearls in the centres to finish.
I am attending the first of the year's wedding fares on Sunday, so have been frantically prepping for that. It's exciting times as it;s the first for the shop I design for. Will let you know how it goes and post some piccies.
Thanks for stopping by and for the wonderful comments
Have a good week
