Wedding card Round 2

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.

Wedding Card - Clean and Simple

Well my family do nothing by halves. My eldest Daughter Lauren sprang it upon us that she will be getting Wed in 10 Weeks time. June the 11th to be exact eeek!

So as this has just been decided it doesn't leave a great deal of planning time for prep and organisation.

Wedding Cards need to be made and sent in mega quick time and we were for our sins going to buy them, I sat tonight with a couple of the Tonic Studios Geared punches (Bride and Groom) and thought "surely I can come up with something elegant yet clean and simple and I'm hoping that this will fit the bill.


I need your comments on this. Does it work?

The card is Antique Gold and Cream the cream is showing up a little white toned but it is cream
