Wedding

Hopefully this is posting on Saturday, as I'm at a wedding and am safe showing you the card I've made for the couple.

The heart and flower have been cut on my ROBO using a template from a very kind lady on UKScrappers, but I never made a not of who. It's meant to be on the edge of a card, but I've used it as a topper. If anyone knows who designed it, please let me know and I'll give them the credit they deserve.

I've also cut the couple's entwined initials from the backing paper.

I found the verse below on this website, that I've used for the inside and printed onto heavy vellum. The word husband in my version actually says man on the site

May you cherish these moments

For all of your life

As you step out together

As husband and wife.

May the vows that you've taken

Remain true and strong

As you start on life's highway

And journey along.

Flip-Flop or Swing!

That's Daring Cardmakers challenge for this week, to make a flip-flop or swing card. I had every intention of combining it with this week's Dottie's World challenge, but messed up, so I'll make another card for that if I get chance.

The image is a pre-coloured Scruff from the Animal Magic digi-stamps by Lou and from Charmed.

Everything else is Sassafras with the wording cut on my ROBO.

SLYMI week 32

Write in white is Shimelle's latest Scrap Like You Mean It challenge on UKScrappers.

Here's my LO. Photo of my youngest sister after we'd been to the Rainbow vegetarian restaurant for her birthday.

The large swirl and thought bubble were templates from UKS members Lucille and Dan and cut on my ROBO. The writing in the thought bubble is "doesn't she realise she's getting wet too?"

Bingo Anyone?

No, it's not a game of Bingo unfortunately, but I have altered a Bingo board I bought on Monday.

To start, I coated all the sides with a mix of brown, white and black acrylic paint and used a crumpled piece of kitchen tissue to sort of stipple it. Then, I added some red ribbon and tied a couple of short strands of brown fibre near the knot.

I used Karen's masking tutorial to stamp the images (Annie collection by Lou and Karen and exclusive to Charmed) onto 260gsm card. Thanks for the instructions Karen, it worked a treat. These were coloured using my Prisma pencils and blending pencil. Not sure what I think to it, but I still haven't made some of the paper stumps. After cutting the images I stuck them down using foam pads. To make sure they stuck well, I added a drop of PVA glue to the side that would be sticking to the paint.

The wording was cut on my ROBO, stuck with PVA and doodled on.

The only sad thing, is that some or all of it will be covered with the paper I clip there reminding me of things 'TO DO'.
