Wedding at Gosfield Hall - Essex

Last weekend we went up to Essex to the wedding of my best friends brother. The wedding was at Gosfield Hall which is a very plush stately hall near Braintree. The venue was beautiful as was the wedding. Luckily the sun shone and the bride and groom are now on honeymoon in Thailand. 

The card I have to show you is the wedding card I made them. Very simple on black and white. The images are from MayPLdigital art. Beautiful images and flourishes suitable for weddings. Have just printed the images out, greeting is computer generated. Matted into black and white card.

Horrible Background!!

WOW where is this year going... it seems to be going so fast. Don't know whether I am coming or going. Have not made a card in ages but I do have some which I made earlier...

The card I have to show you today has a bit of a story. Are you sitting comfortably?  On my annual trip to Appleby Magna,  Kim was messing about with doing her own backgrounds and she didn't like this one and threw it away. I rescued it and made it into this card. I used a couple of buttons that Greta gave me and this was the card I made.

Obviously I sent her the card for her birthday. :-)

Hanging Christmas card

We are decorating at the moment so have not had any time in my craft room and I am getting withdrawal symptoms. Luckily I will be going to a workshop tomorrow so will get some crafting done then.

I do have a card of sorts to show you today. This is a hanging Christmas card. The images are decoupage, so are 3D. There is a blank white piece of card on the back for your message. The panels are approximately 4" square with matching ribbon. I will be making some more of these to sell in my Etsy shop.

Another Anniversary card

I hope this post finds you all well . Another anniversary card to show you today.

This card was made for my son & daughter in law's anniversary last month. The image on the card is from the Twiggy & Toots CD. I love these little owls :-) 

The image was printed off the Cd and then backed onto some backing card that I had in my stash. The greeting is from LOTV.

Our 25th Wedding Anniversary

Bit quiet on the blog front recently due to the fact that I have only been at home for 2 weeks in the last 6!

Back on 9th October, hubby and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. We went over to the Isle of Wight for a week to celebrate. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time.

Here is the card that I made for hubby. All done in CAP. Printed out and then matted onto silver and black backing card.

Birthday Card

The card I have to show you today is one that I made at a workshop a couple of months ago.

The backing was made with a stencil and ink mist. Great effect. The flowers are Altenew and if I remember we used the green meadows and the Pocketful of Sunshine ink cube set. The 'just for' stamped greeting has been embossed. I have added the 'sister greeting.
