What's with all the requests for wedding cards?

Hi all, finally I have been able to get down to posting a card.  What with the dull weather and not being able to get a decent photo, (memo to self have to make a light box in order to take better photos), Mr Mojo running amok and a few other things getting in the way, I am glad to be able to return to the fold.  I am still experiencing difficulties accessing Blogger on my PC, will have to find time to research an alternative to Internet Explorer as this seems to be where my problems stem from.

Anyway enough of my woes,  recently I have been asked to make a few wedding cards.  I love it when the person requesting the card gives an idea od colour theme, names etc.  This one was a rush request but the remit was black and white with bling.  The couples names and date was supplied so helped a lot.  This is what I produced with only two days notice.







Sorry the picture quality is not the best as I am having to use IPad but you can see my card and box.  I used Spellbinder dies, aster, grand decorative squares, oval die with sentiment typed from PC in silver, glitter, ribbon and pearls from stash.  The white flower on the lid of the box started life as a 
Christmas decoration fro M & S.  I used Tattered Lace dies for other sentiments.

Anne who ordered the card was delighted with it.  I don't associate black for a wedding card but that was what she requested.

Hope you are all bearing up through this spell of horrendous weather.

Take care.

  4. Hi Wilma

    How gorgeous!

    Great die work and such beautiful colours.

    So much easier when you have an idea of what someone actually wants!

    A bit of a shot in the dark here but are you the "Wilma" I am buying a Bind it All from on Ebay?

    If so I can't start to tell you how excited I am about it arriving.

    Have a good weekend.

    Love Jules xx

  5. Good morning Wilma great to see you posting again.
    Great card and box they are beautiful. Nothing funnier than people's requests
    When our sister got married a couple of years ago her wedding theme was "Black & White" Hazel and I could hardly believe it but in actual fact is was rather effective. That's what you get when you have a sister who was into the "Goth" thing.........enough said.
    Have a great weekend

  8. Fabulous card and box Wilma. My daughter's invitations weren't black and white but her bridesmaids wore black and I wore black with a touch of red. I have to say it was unusual to see bridesmaids wearing black but everyone thought they looked great.

  11. hi Wilma, beautiful creations, I did some invites in cream and black, looked really affective.
    I had trouble with IE after a update installed to IE11, so uninstalled went back to IE10, that is ok now, but have gone onto Chrome, which is a lot faster.
