Here is a card I made for the wedding we are attending on the weekend - on Hamilton Island!!! (jealous yet?)
The groom is the son of a friend of mine, and both the groom and his mum were taught by Stuart, my husband! Small world, hey :) Some of the wedding guests may get a surprise when they spot Mr Jacob :P Tales of detention and more...
On to the card... I wanted something special for this card, and have made a fold with a special pocket for a gift card or cheque. I made this by folding the card in Landscape orientation, with the first two sections being normal card size, and the remaining piece being folded inwards to form a pocket. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the inside to show you. I trimmed the inside edge with the Scallop Trim punch to decorate it.
The bride's dress is Whisper White, embossed with the Petals a Plenty embossing folder for the BigShot. I have added some bits of gold glitter to highlight the centre of the petals. The card base is Very Vanilla, and then there is a layer of Basic Black. Next up is a Whisper White layer sponged with River Rock ink. The background is a panel of River Rock. To co-ordinate with the colour scheme of the wedding I have made a cummerbund from a piece of Very Vanilla stamped and embossed with gold using the
Confetti background set. I've also added some Basics Rhinestones to give a bit of Bling to the Bride's neckline.
The concept for this design was provided by the very clever Valita, at
Valita's Fresh Folds. Go have a look to see the other wonderful creations she makes!
