Mark & Emily's wedding card - for 17th September

On Saturday 17th September, my hubby Andy's good friend, workmate  and fishing buddy Mark is getting married to Emily, we are going to their wedding. I made this A5 card for them. I was unsure whether to make or buy a card, (shocking I know, just the thought!) as they are a young couple and I wasn't sure I could make a card suitable for them, but Andy reassured me that they will like it, hope they do.

the idea for their card started with the wedding topper, using co-ordinating  colours to matt and layer and the card grew from there. I used purple card, gold pearl paper, lilac pearl paper, a wedding day 6" x 6" backing paper, I added sentiments from another 6" x 6"wedding day paper & finished off the card with a lilac flower & ribbon recycled from a wedding invitation & a chipboard topper. I decorated the inside of the card with the same lilac pearl paper and added the front of their wedding invitation (not shown).

  4. I hope they have a lovely day. It is my son's 24th birthday today so it's a good day :-) The card is really nice, I am certain they will love it.
    I wonder why we always doubt our own ability?
