Engagement Card
Good Morning folks. We have a dry & sunny morning here with not a breath of wind at all. To-day's card was made as a commission for a recent engagement. I really find it hard to define this type of card from a wedding card, but maybe that's just me. I started off with an 8 X 8 ivory hammered card and added a layer of lilac then another layer of ivory that I edged with a MS punch. I used the set of my favourite Marianne dies to create the centre-piece, to that I added the champagne glasses. The large satin bow added a finishing touch along with the little heart. I also made a wallet,, sadly I took the picture at night with the flash and the colours look entirely different. Sorry about that. I hope you all have a lovely week-end, and find some time to craft. Thank-you for joining me in my blogging journey as it makes it all the more worth while, when sharing it with you. Hugs Rita xx
