Congratulations

Addicted to CAS is celebrating a birthday so they have chosen this word for inspiration this week.

 

 

We recently had a family wedding. I made three cards before I decided which one to use here and here . Today's card was my least favourite. I was going for two shades of gold but I didn't make enough of a contrast between the two for the card to be effective. But here it is anyway

 

 

I will also be entering this over at CASology where it's

 

 

I reckon there is lots of white 'space' on this card.

Team

CASology's cue this week stumped me a bit but then I thought of a wedding card. What better team than two people who are embarking on the adventure of their lives together?

 

 

 

I made the pattern for the names myself.

 

I will also be using this over at Split coast stampers FS510 where Jennifran is being honoured this week. I used this card as inspiration.

Black and White bridal couple

Simply less is moore have a challenge of White on White. Metallic or Black accents are allowed.

Here is my card

 

Supplies:

Pattern: Pintrest

Thread: White: DMC Blanch

              Black: DMC Noir

Card Stock: 160gsm in white

Silver peel off

Button from my stash

 

Glitter

Isn't it amazing how some weeks the challenges are all rather similar and you are able to make one card work for more than one challenge and then other weeks nothing seems to link up? Well this week is one of the latter. Not much is gelling for me.

But not to worry I'll give it my best shot starting over at CASology where this is their cue

 

 

I made this card

  

 

I recently went to a closing down sale and managed to pick up some lovely things for next to nothing. This was one of them. It was a fraction too big for the card stock size that I use so I chopped off a bit of the nose of the car.

A quick, easy card but lots of fun to make. 

 

 

Supplies:

Card Stock: 160gsm in white

Glitter: Kindy Glitz in Crystalina

Liquid pearls in platinum and gold

Border Punch

Stickers: Jolee's Boutique Dimensional stickers Honeymoon begins EKWJJ026

Wedding doves

Share joy challenge have this challenge

 

and TGIF challenges have this challenge

 

 

I decided to combined them and made this card.

 

 

You will have to look very closely to see the black but it is there!
