Engagement

Here's a recent commissioned card to celebrate a happy couple's engagement and is destined for Spain although I'm told the proposal took place on the London Eye when they were here in the U.K. for a short break.

I used an 8x8 card blank and DPs from Dovecraft (pale pink) and the dark pink is Love Letters from First Edition - the tag is from this pad also. I used a Martha Stewart Heart Edger punch to add detail. The image is from a LOTV Art Pad and was cut into a heart shape and I used Stickles around the edge to add sparkle.

The flowers, ferns and leaves were cut using a Tattered Lace Midi Blooms die which is so versatile and the large and small Congratulations were cut with Britannia dies.  Gems and ribbon from stash.

Some close up details

Love Is In The Air.....

..... and it's not a Valentines card that I'm sharing today. This is an engagement card that I was asked to make and the brief was to keep it fairly flat as it had to be packed in a suitcase going to Spain. So I wasn't able to go too mad with embellies this time. I started with an 8x8 scalloped card base, covered with DP from First Edition Love Letters pad. The image is from LOTV (of course) and I added Glossy Accents to the roses and shoes and Glamour Dust to the girl's hat. I used some ivory Centura Pearl card with a combination of dies - Spellbinders, Memory Box, Cheery Lynn & Signature by Joanna Sheen. The small tag and the two letter tiles were from the Love Letters paper pad. I finished off with gems, heart brad and a heart charm.

This picture (taken with flash on) shows the sheen from the Centura Pearl card                                             

Dies used:

Spellbinders - Captivating Squares
Memory Box - La Rue Heart
Cheery Lynn - Small Exotic Butterflies #2
Joanna Sheen Signature Dies - Bunting SD064
