I am going to be their bridesmaid & I know that the colour theme of the wedding is going to be purple & silver. I also know that they want swirls & butterflies on their wedding invitations as they have asked me to help them make them. They asked me if they would put them on their engagement card too!
I used a MS corner punch for the corners of the card & added purple gems to the centres. I stamped a silver swirl using my Inkadinkado Flourish Dot stamps & added clear & purple gems. I punched out four purple vellum butterflies using the MS large monarch butterfly punch. I added silver embossing powder to two of them & heated it with my heat gun & stuck them on top of the plain purple butterflies. I added two gems to the bodies. Finally I added a Craftwork Cards Congratulations sentiment.
I'm really happy with how it turned out & was surprised how much easier an easel card is to make than I had imagined. The photo isn't very good as I took it early this morning when I was in a rush to get to work & the light wasn't very good.
I gave them the card today & they absolutely love it.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
