Ruby Wedding

Good morning all, I have a card to share with you today!

This is another of the Ruby Wedding Cards I was asked to make

I wasn't given any ideas so had free reign.

I used a Ruby coloured 6"x6" card base & simply added a panel

of white with a punched border & a panel of  ruby  on top.

I made up the sentiment in my Graphics progamme.

The hearts were punched.

A few little gems to finish off.

You can't see it in the photo but I added a large die cut heart

on the inside to write the greeting on!

I hope you like it!

I'd like to enter this card in a few challenges:

Happy Ruby Wedding

Good morning all!

The card I have to share with you today is a commision.

I was given free reign to make a Ruby Wedding card

for a friend to give to her husband.

Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary Liz & John!

Here's what I came up with!

I used a white 6"x6" base & added a mat of ruby red card-stock.

The white, embossed card is from Lelli-bot.

I added a layer of ruby card, along the lower third of the card, 

 the bottom edge was punched using an EK Success border punch & a 

mat of  the embossed card on top.

I created the hearts using the ruby red card.

I die cut them, then ran through the big shot to emboss, using Cuttlebug

swirls & swiss dots folders. Next I added some silver thread which was wrapped around.

In the past I have used embossing powder to give these a nice shiny appearance.

This time, as I had added the thread, I decided to try Anitas 3d Clear Gloss. 

It took ages to dry (overnight) but I am really happy with the result.

The sentiment was created in my graphics programme.

I added 3 ruby red star buttons to embellish.

On the inside of the card, I added a mat of ruby red card & a

die cut heart in white, to write on.

Thanks for popping in, I do hope you like my card!

I certainly had a lot of fun creating it!
