Bride with Buttons & Bows

Hi, The Cuttlebug Challenge for this week is to design a card using an image, a bow and at least 2 buttons. Whoopsi Daisy is sponsoring this challenge with their digital images, and as I love colouring, I thought I'd check them out. I couldn't resist this one - isn't she just gorgeous.

I've used the copics to colour her, and chose a pale pink for her dress rather than the traditional white. I couldn't find the right ribbon in my stash, so I layered a thin satin ribbon over a wider organza.

The "Roses" Cuttlebug folder is used for the background, and the edge is punched with the SU Scallop Trim punches. The flowers are inked around the edges, glitter added (of course), and layered. The buttons are then set in the centre.

I've also entered this card in the Whoopsie Daisy September challenge......create a card with all things flowery.

Hope you like it.

Till next time,

Luv, Tereesa.

Card - Towels For Two

Hi Everyone, This is a very simple (but effective) wedding card made for my niece. Apart from a Scallop Edge Punch, only the Cuttlebug was used.

First "Mr." and "Mrs." was heat embossed in black, then the two pieces of white card were embossed using the Cuttlebug. These were then edged (in black) with a Scallop Border Punch.

A small strip of brushed silver card was adhered using small foam dots, and attached flat at both ends with brads.

A piece of silver ribbon in the corner, topped with a pretty silver filigree flower and a black rhinestone, to finish the card.

I, unfortunately, made an error in sticking my hand to the element in the oven on Wednesday, so have been unable to do much craft-wise (these things happen). I will definitely have something new to show you in the next few days, but it has been fun looking through some cards from last year and sharing them with you.

Till next time,

With luv,

Tereesa.

Together Forever Card

Hi Everyone, Today I thought I would show you a variation of a card I made for the Lovestruck Dinner For 2. By changing the colours and a couple of other elements, the same design is now a romantic wedding card.

The tag shapes are cut from the "Storybook" cartridge, and then embossed with the "Textile" cuttlebug folder.

The hearts are cut in silhouette from "George & Basic Shapes", embossed with clear powder and sprinkled with glitter while still wet. The side strip is embossed with "Swiss Dots".

The card is then finished off with ribbons and pearls.

My 3 wonderful children all made it into Districts for Cross-Country this week, so I have a busy few days ahead cheering them on. Wish them luck!

Luv, Tereesa.
