My dear friend Rachel got married today in Italy! How romantic is that!?
Sounds like a girls fairytale wedding dream to marry in a castle in Italy, doesn't it?
That's how I finally came up with the idea for this card. The beautiful
bride is a Saturated Canary digi called "Bride" and the carriage
is a digi from Crafts & Me.
I originally made this card with the bride walking
through a rose covered archway and down a long stone path leading to a church on the
hillside. I ended up ditching that idea because I just wasn't happy with all the green
that the pasture brought into the picture.
I think birds also make it feel very fairytale like. I love how these birds
turned out to appear to be carrying the scroll. The sentiment is a digi from Sassy Design Studios. I printed it on cardstock, rolled both ends, with one end
wrapped around a decorative metal rod I purchased at Michaels.
I then distressed the paper and added some ink to
give it an aged look.
Of course this had to have flowers!! The white one already had bling but
then I added glitter stickles to the rest of them. It is difficult to see,
but there is also a diamond bauble at the bottom of the bouquet.
I love how the bride turned out. I have a tough time coloring black hair so
anytime it turns out halfway decent, I'm happy. I cut a "C" shape at the top of
her headpiece and inserted tulle to give her a veil. I then added more bling to
give her a pearl headpiece.
Most of my cards are quite bulky because of all the embellies. So I
have to make enveloboxes like I'm sure a lot of you do also.
This is the one I made for this card.
This card was made with so much love and I hope you find some inspiration!
