Wedding Day Card
A young couple I know are getting married soon - the day after my anniversary, actually! Their colour scheme is blue and orange, so I decided I would make this card using their scheme. They also used a tiger lily as their theme on their invitations, which I helped them make, so I made a tiger lily blossom from scratch - from a template I created freehand - and decorated with lots of Stickles. The background papers are called Marrakesh Vines by Bo Bunny and WorldWin translucent vellum in papaya, both of which I got at scrapbook.com.
Hi. I live in Barbados - that's in the Caribbean - it's the most easterly located island in the chain known as the West Indies.
By day I'm a banker - well acutally I do PR for a bank -and somtimes on evenings you'll find me at karate. I'm a relatively new black belt - trying (unsuccessfully) to keep up with my sixth degree black belt husband!
I love making cards by hand every time I finish one I look at it over and over again trying to see what i did well, and how I can improve next time - I have really hard time parting with them - but what's the point of creating something if you don't share with others!
