Marriage

Hi everyone,

Earlier in the month my nephew got married. Of course I had to create a special card to give to him and his new bride and this is the card I created for them. I normally like to make my card using colors that match the colors they are using for the wedding and as their theme was black and white, I kept to those colors for my card.

As you can see I created an Accordion card using the Oval Accordion Card die set designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs. I alternated the pages of my accordion using both black and white and also using the Oval Flourish Frame Edges set to decorate each page.

For the first page in my card I used the Couple Die from Tattered Lace and then used one of my favorite Wedding sentiment from Paper Inspirations for the second page.

Here is a close up of the third and fourth pages of my book. The Love Die is from MFT Stamps and the sentiment on the last page is an old stamp from PSX.

I don’t normally decorate the back of most of the Accordion cards I create, unless it is for something special like this card is. I kept the first page blank so I could write my greeting to the Bride & Groom.

On the second and fourth pages I added the name of the Bride & Groom.

Here is the front of my card when it is closed ready to be placed in it’s envelope or box. I added some flowers using Elizabeth Craft Designs Bunch of Flowers 2 and Black Velvet Adhesive Sheet.

As my card was rather bulky I decided to create a box for it. I used the Oval Flourish Frame Edges again around the edge of the box and then added the Florentine Bells from Tattered Lace in the centre.

And one last photo of my card this time in the box with the lid of the box on the side.
