Papertake weekly ,,,,,, Dawny's Sketch

My visitors have all gone home now ,,, it has been a busy summer and I have lots to catch up on ,,, am chasing my tail at the mo' :-) I will be popping around all your blogs just as soon as I can ,,, am looking forward to seeing what you have all been up to :-)

anyway ,,, time for a new challenge over on the PTW :-) Dawny has made us a fab sketch to follow and as I had to make a Wedding card for last night I had to sit down get on with it yesterday morning !!

We are sponsored this week by the lovely Katharina at Whiff of Joy so a lovely stamp will be given to one lucky entrant !! :-)




I used my Newly Weds magnolia stamp ,,, I just bought this ,,, lovely eh !! I coloured the image with copics and added touched of star dust stickles,, as is compulsory !! :-) The papers are Basic Grey Capella, Ivory Star Dream card and beige coredinations. I inked all the edges with pumice stone distress ink and made the flowers with my new Nellie Snellen floral punches ,, I have been wanting these since I went to the craft fair in Holland last year, they punch and emboss ,,, gorgeous :-) I used a Martha Stewart border punch and added a ribbon ,, a few pearls and a charm to finish :-)



The tradition here is to go to the bride or grooms house a few days before the wedding to take your gifts, we took this card with a cheque in it and had a drink and chat with the happy couple and the grooms parents ,,,, anyway ,,,I was talking to the bride and hadn't opened my card and I don't know how it came to this topic of conversation ,,, but she said she HATED ivory and was getting married in white, she thinks ivory is a dirty white ,,,, so maybe she will hate me card too !! at least I think she will like the cheque tho eh !! :-)
