Good morning
Oh boy I'm busy with wedding work again...blah blah blah
We are also still celebrating, this time my hubby Steve's 50th Monday! We are off out tonight with a big group of friends, it's also one of the girlie's brthday Tuesday so a double celebration tonight!
Next Friday we are off to the mainland to Steve's family to continue the celebrations, then we bring our lovely little baby Joe back with us for a week. How lucky are we!!
Inbetween all this I have a zillion invitations to make...
Any volunteers? ha ha
Ok so onto "Less is More" Week 64
Our theme is so easy peasy
I've made the piccy huge cos otherwise, you'd miss the charm!
I use charms a fair bit, although with peer pressure again I sat for a few hours wondering what to do! This is basically a DL card turned lenthways. I then cut Sizzix hearts in various ivory and black card, in different shapes and sizes. I then over stamped some and embossed the black primitive one in a Cuttlebug folder. I randomly placed them along the base of the card and attached them using 3d pads or PVA glue to give plenty of dimension. The charm is suspended on some Stampin' Up Twine. I like the look of the twine, as this overall effect has a vintage feel. If you can see the heart has a tiny rose on there, it is SO cute.
Charms and mulberry rose are from Ribbon Girl Ribbon Girl is an Aladins cave of so many fabulous goodies, you loose yourself for ages delving into the different sections of gorgeousness
Not a great deal of white space, but there is in comparison to the shape of the card.
Setting up a wedding this afternoon. A wonderful venue here onthe island
The Botanical Gardens. The couple were hoping to marry on the beach, but looking at the weather, I suspect not. Not to mention the high tide!!
May take my snorkel!!
Have a great day. thanks for popping by
