Afternoon everyone, hope you've all had a good week. Mine has been very busy, as usual....the best bit being a whole morning of baby-sitting our gorgeous little Eva. She really is the most delicious little thing (when she's in a good mood, of course. haha)
Anyway, today I wanted to show you a card I was asked to make for a Hindu wedding. The request was 'bright' with lots of gold.....After checking out some pics on the 'net, I realised why the customer said this......Almost every card I saw was either shocking pink or red/orange/yellow.
I decided to stick with my fave colours then added a bit of bling with heat embossing.
All cardstock is from PAPERMILL
I have inked 'white linen' with a selection of colours from
the Colour Chemistry range by
(fab inks!)
The flourish stamp is an old one, sorry not sure who by, the gorgeous little stars are from
All the 'fine detail' gold embossing powder is from
Oak House Studio (link above)
The sentiment is computer-generated
My lovely customer loved it, and I think it might be the only one of it's kind....unless some of the other guests know an amazing card-maker too, hahaha
Well, that's it for today, hope you've enjoyed looking.
Have a great weekend, catch you all soon
