Wedding Inspiration Challenge ODBDSLC283

     UPDATE: So excited and honored to learn that Our Daily Bread Designs chose my card as a Customer-Card-of-the-Day from all those submitted this past year as they celebrate their 9th Anniversary.

     Today, I have a card for the Wedding Inspiration Challenge on the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog. I love black and white cards for occasions such as a wedding or wedding shower.

     I used four die sets from Our Daily Bread Designs to create my wedding inspired card.

          Ornate Hearts CSBD53

          Asters and Leaves CSBD57

          Fancy Foliage CSBD33
          Double Stitched Rectangles CBD123

     I used clear gems accents to finish the front.

     I try to always finish off the inside of my cards by bringing some element from the front to the inside. Here's what I did with this card.

     Now, I normally tell you about all the time you have left to join in the fun, but I'm barely getting mine in on time because of computer problems. There will be a new challenge up soon. You can check out the rules and new inspiration here: http://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/

    

     Thanks so much for stopping in today. I always love your visits.

     May the Lord be glorified by the work of my hands. Pamela

Flower Girls & Ring Bearer

     My niece Ashley asked me to create three cards asking two flower girls and one ring bearer to join her wedding party. Her wedding colors are real burlap & gold.      Ashley attached magic wands to the girls cards and a real sheriff's badge to the boy's card which he will wear in the wedding as he guards the rings. 

     I used DCWV's Chic Chat stack to make the cards. Real burlap with a smooth back for easy gluing was the perfect place to start my cards. I created the 'Will you . . . " sentiment on my computer, trimmed it and adhered it with glue dots. I printed the rest of the question, "Will you be my ring bearer / flower girl?" onto cream copy paper and used it to line the inside of the cards. I lined the envelopes with coordinating patterned papers.

     They all said yes!

     Thanks for stopping in today. May the Lord be glorified by the work of my hands,

Velum Rosebuds

   I began experimenting with 3D velum flowers after designing a wedding card similar to this one with velum rosebuds for my brother whom I love more than life itself. His card had a pop-up wedding cake on the inside.
   I was living in the Alaskan bush when I first started designing cards. The nearest card-shop was three hours away at the end of a mostly graveled road that stretched across three snow-covered mountain passes. Trips to town for me were few and far between especially in winter. I often found myself without a card for this occasion or that so I started making cards. I fell in love with the art form! Now, I live in Texas only a few minutes from a card shop, but I still make all my own cards.
