A Special Request


This card was a Special Request in a couple of ways.  A friend of mine as me to make an Engagement card for her son and soon to be daughter in law <g>.  

First I used a couple of images of the couple, alas they were very small digital versions which made the artwork I wanted to create a bit hard.  I started with the two images and played around with them in Photoshop, finally using the Stamp filter to create very bold idea I wanted.
Next I brought the images into Illustrator, got them positioned as I wanted them, did a few other bits and bobs then printed on an mustard/gold paper.
Out with a card blank in black which I then covered the front of with gold coloured lace.
The different sections of the card topper were cut with Cherry Lyn Heart to Heart Doily dies, in the gold/mustard again and in black.  Now it was ready for layering.
Not to much in the way of embellishments for this card, I really did not think it needed much more that a bit of ribbon and an engagement peel off sticker sentiment.  I used gold organza and gold ribbon which I layered together.  Then I made the bow to match using the gold organza.
Ready to put it all together now :)
I also decorated the inside to match
And here we have the finished card.  The base of the heart was attached to the card then the centre heart with the image was mounted with foam tape for a bit of dimension.  Ribbons were put in place and I added a few Bisque Liquid Pears for a bit of fun :)
Ingredients:

  • Back card
  • Digi by me
  • Dies -Cherry Lyn Heart to Heart Doily dies, Spellbinders Grand Labels 1
  • Lace, ribbon, sentiment sticker and Liquid Pearls
