Another test card, this time a little more to it.
Someone said thay wern't sure where leaves come into my thoughts for a wedding card so i'll try to explain my thoughts on it.
Leaves form part of most bouquets and supply the greenery, I could have choosen hearts but I figured that would not be unusual, the other thing that draws myself to leaves is that to me leaves and trees symbolise life. The other reason is purely design value if I'd chosen,swiss dots, damask, birds and swirls, or most other embossing folders the question would still apply.

Not sure where the leaves come in with a wedding, I'd have thought horseshoes, hearts or flowers would be more suitable. I love the simplicity of this though and I really like the wedding rings hanging from the bow. I really like this one.
I'm with Tig on this, I don't see what leaves have to do with a wedding? I love the simplicity of this card and the bow and rings finish it off really well. Very classy!
Hi Jak,
I think this one is perfect. I liked the last one, but suggested the embossing. Now that you've come up with this one, its surely a winner.
I like the leaves as well. Bit different to the norm.
Well done Jak.

Gorgeous Jak! I love the leaves ~jeni :)
Well given the choice I would go with this one, but both knock spots off anything you could get commercially.
I love your use of the embossed leaves background - you used it with the wedding shoe digi stamp and that is one of my favourite cards ever. Maybe if you decide there are too many leaves you could do what you did with that card and emboss sections of the background?
The colours on this one are far more subtle and really focus attention on the sentiment and ring.
Either way, your cards are classy and unique. Well done Jak x
Liked the first one but like this one MORE.

Just love this Jak!!! Very stylish and very classy!!!! This is definately my favourite!
I love this one real classy xxxx
This is my favourite Jak .. it's stunning xx
I love them both. For me the choice is about appropriateness to the couple. The first one is very modern and minimalist. The second is more traditional and flamboyant.

Hi sweetie, this is stunning it looks so elegant, hugs pops x x
This one is my favourite Jak - very ELEGANT and particularly suited to an Autumn wedding. BLove the layout, folders & materials used,it would suit so many occasions (minus the rings etc of course).

I prefer this one - it's beautiful - and who says you can't have leaves on Wedding Invitations - I don't think it's written in stone that you can't - lol!!!!
I've just made some wedding stationery but the bride wanted pink, hearts and bling - so that's what I did - she loves them and she's had lots of lovely comments about them.
You know what Jak? This is so stinkin gorgeous! I never would have thought of something so clean and elegant, with that ring and ribbon there, wow its perfect, really beautiful!
Well Jak.... I think the 'leaves' remind me of jacquard,which lots of people have for waistcoats or gorgeous fabric shoes! It looks very regal,clean and stylish i love it.

Love this one.... Yep, I've made stationery for 90 guests LOL!
I really liked the first one, but I think ths one is my fav. Both are lovely.
Stunning! For me, this one knocks spots off the first one. I love the simplicity, the naturalness and the uniqueness - I think you're onto something there!
Love it Love it Love it!
This card is so elegant. Both cards are nice but I like this one the best..
This is oh so classy, Jak. As usual. Love that leaf embossing & the rings are pure Genius!
Its such an awesome creation.I like your Card Creations with white and the golden coloured.Here i can also see the wonderful ring.These all look very cool.
This is my favourite of the two gorgeous cards.
This one is classy. Love the leaves and the image!
The ring and bow are wonderful!!

Love both cards, but this one gets my vote.
Hi Jak - this is my favourite, hands down - far more elegant than the first, and more 'you'. I like the leaves too - too much obvious imigry like hearts wouldn't be so classy.
Yes, this is a lot nicer than the first one.
Never usually comment on blogs but inspired to do so this morning, after all you asked. If I got this one in the post it would be a WOW where as the other would be more of a " that's nice".
did not comment on the first one...but I did like it......BUT!!!
this one is gorgeous!!!! so elegant...luv it
Now this one is very simple but graceful at the same time, love the leaves,very peaceful.I love it.
Absolutely love it - wasn't sure about the first one, but this is fab!
Hi Jak
This card is gorgeous, much better than yesterdays in my opinion. Very elegant.
I like this one much better Jak. Very simple and elegant.
This is fabulous Jak,much preffered,itsso elegant, luv Georginax
This is the one! Very elegant yet not too fussy! I adore it. I don't get where people don't get the leaves? Leaves- vines--growing-lives joining, intertwining, changing...makes perfect sense! Your going to haVe to mass produce quickly and this seems easy enough to do--I sense sparks flying from the Big Shot! Blessings, Sharon
I didn't comment on the first card Jak, but this one is my fav. All I can say is wow, wow, wow!
Oh this is the one... beautiful and eligant.
Wow
I loved the first one Jak, but now I have seen this one, it's stunning. I don't think you can beat it!! Beautiful!
I loved the first one Jak, but now I have seen this one, it's stunning. I don't think you can beat it!! Beautiful!
This one is very nice too, but I love the first one!
Jak this is just stunning! The leaves are perfect - I thought the same as you straight away.....life/strength/growing = marriage!
Your bow is perfect - do you use a bow-maker (if so which one as I'm on the lookout for one) and how you have encorporated the rings into it is fab!
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

The first card was great, but this one is WOW WOW WOW, it is perfect. As you say trees sybolise life. Your ideas, amazing! Luv Ursula XX
This is THE card...evan thought I liked the first one, this is it! Simple, clean and elegant. Great job!
How elegant & classy
xx
Oh I think this is my favourite. Love the layout, the bow and the rings. May I ask where you got the rings from?
Wow! All these wedding cards are beautiful! If I absolutely had to choose, it would be the one with the embossed leaves. Well done!
Debs
Beautiful Jak, leaves are stunning stick with it girl, who says that you have to conform strickly to wedding themes, that's why we have creativeness within ourselves to be different and no one else will ever have a card like this.

i just looove #2..its my fave..loves ya
Love this one but something just doesn't convince me this is the one.
There is something either missing or something too much on it. Not sure which it is. Off to have a look at the last one.
