Today I thought that I would share a card I made earlier in the year for an old college friend. I wasn’t able to attend the wedding, so wanted to send something extra special to let her know that I would be thinking about her on her special day.

I made an A5 card base from some sturdy white linen card, adding a simple plain vellum insert. The edged organza ribbon was wrapped round the inside of the card front to disguise the DST holding the insert in place, and tied in the top front corner.

The photo is one I chose from my pack of Joanna Sheen’s Victorian Photographs, backed onto some more of the linen card. I then wrapped each corner of the topper with lazer cut lace strips. The bouquets were constructed using a selection of Joanna’s Paper Flowers, tied with more edged organza ribbon, and then securely fixed to the edges of the photo with a firm glue before being further embellished with lazer cut hearts.

I decorated the back of the card simply with two more lazer cut hearts.

A box was constructed using double sided white pearlescent card stock, similiar to Stardream Card and decorated with more lazer cut hearts, embellished with Self Adhesive Pearls. The card was wrapped in pearly white tissue paper before being secured in the box with another length of edged organza.

I was, and still am, very happy with this card and feel that it’s one the best things I’ve ever made, so I hope that you enjoy looking at it too :)

Keep well everyone and look forward to posting again soon.
