The embossed paisley pattern on the heart represents cowboys' bandanas and the orange wood-grain cardstock ties in nicely with the rustic theme. I got a chance to play with some of my new SECC goodies, the heart and scalloped heart dies are new, and so are the 8x8 embossing folder I used on the yellow cardstock, the sentiment stamp which is from a Buzzcraft set, and the burnt orange ribbon. The stepper card blank is from the Tulip bumper pack I bought last month, I'm really enjoying making cards this shape. The leaves were made with my favourite Spellbinders Fall Leaves set and were inked with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. Wild Honey Distress Ink was used to give some warmth to the sentiment element. A few coloured pearls finish off what might not be your average wedding card, but I rather like it all the same!

ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, how wonderful, these colours are amazing, I like it when people do things out of line with what is regarded "Normal". Good on the bride for choosing her theme and colours and you and your mum deserve a pat on the back for producing such wonderful invitations and favour boxes.
