WEDDING CARDS


Made these three cards this week - lili of the valley images are my favourites at the moment. One wedding was all co-ordinated in cream/brown and the other was teal - hence these two. The other card is a ruby wedding card cut on the cricut with celebrations cart - split and tiers added to make it look more like a wedding cake.

80 YEARS YOUNG




This card was made for a Sunderland Football fan who is celebrating his three score years and 10 and 10 more this weekend. Tomorrow is also my own mother's 80th birthday. This makes me feel quite middle aged!!
Football frame, shirt and boot all cut on cricut with soccer cartridge. Shirt was cut twice and then sliced to make stripes (as authentic as possible) Numerals were chipboard coloured with promarkers and glittered with diamond stickle glitter glue.
