As you know I was recently in the UK for my Nephew’s wedding and this is the card I made for him and his beautiful bride :-) The invitations and colours of the wedding were Red, Blue and Ivory so I used them too :-)

I love this Penny Black Bride and Groom stamp, simple and stunning I think :-)

I stamped twice with Memento Black ink onto Neenah card and coloured with Copics, I then layered the bouquet and adhered with Scrap Dots (fab product) :-) I cut out the hem of the dress before using a Spellbinder’s Grand Oval die and running it though the Grand Calibur machine. I used red coredinations for layering and for cutting out the Memory Box Cherish Border and I used a Hearts M-Bossibilities folder and some ivory stardream paper for the background. I coloured some white Prima roses using a Copic Air Brush and a R27 marker and used a Heart Swirl die too.

I finished with some Hero Arts Champagne pearls, some red satin ribbon and a diamante ribbon slider that I bought eons ago and saved for a very special occasion :-)

I decorated the inside too :-) I printed the sentiment on my comp and used a lovely Simon Says Stamp Exclusives Fresh Daisies die ( LOVE this )

I made a box too !! the sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Words set. This was in the June Card Kit,, LOVE these kits :-)

and now a photo of my nephew Craig with his beautiful bride Brittany :-)

I have just received a fab parcel of the new released Christmas stamps from the Wild Rose Studio so I just had to ink up this cute Bella with Gifts :-)

I stamped with Black Memento onto Neenah card and coloured with Copics. The papers are from a new Xmas Bella pack and I pieced the blue pressies using paper from the same pack. I added Polar White flower soft to his pom pom and hat trim and added oodles of Star Dust stickles on the falling snow. I embossed a strip of white card using a Swiss Dots folder and added a strip of red polka dots washi tape across the middle. The sentiment is also from a WRS Christmas Circles sentiment set and I added some red bias tape from The Ribbon Girl :-)
