Today I have another wedding card.  I’m still working on geting them all done.  This one was made using items recycled from the invitation – always fun to do.  But first we’ll announce the winner of this week’s blog candy for our regular Saturday Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style hop.  This past week we were focusing on Bo Bunny! The girls created some gorgeous projects that you can still see by following links on this post.  This week the winner was selected from right here on my blog, and random.org chose #11 who is:

Renee VanEpps

And here’s what Renee had to say:

So beautiful Sharon!  And I really love that sentiment stamp from Just Rite!  Thanks for the chance to win, love your gift card you made!!!!!!!!

Today’s wedding card uses paper and an embellishment from the invitation.  I always enjoy doing that and I often wonder if the bride ever notices that the card was made with pieces scavenged from her invitation?  The invitations were predominantly black with a bit of a light teal type color, white and a very subtle sort of damask type print under the printed text.  Here’s the result:

The black and turquoise/teal paper were cut from the wedding invitation and the large square rhinestone was used to seal the invitation.

I couldn’t salvage any of the damask patterned paper from the invitation in large enough pieces, so I opted to use this sheet from Enchanted by Bo Bunny.  It’s a wonderful black and white pad with so many beautiful, classic and elegant designs.

You can see all items by Bo Bunny here.

Upon completion my card was inserted into an A2 Clear Box for protection until used, and then for presentation.  It is a standard 4.25 x   5.5″ card.

The Classic Pearl Flourish is by Kaisercraft.

5/8″ Pleated Satin in White.

1/8″ Velvet in Turquoise.

1/2″ Seam Binding in White.

Bow made on the Original Bow Easy.

Rose from Prima’s Trellis Roses in Fontaine.

Scor Tape is used to adhere the ribbon.  The 1/8″ tape is perfect for the 1/8″ Velvet.

Prima Petal Pin in Iced.

Aleene’s glue from superstores is used to hold the floral cluster.  Apply glue generously and hold with fingers a bit until it takes.  Once dry (and it takes a bit) it’s all stuck tight forever!

The card inside uses the same paper and is stamped with LOVE by Our Daily Bread Designs in Versa Fine Onyx Black Ink.

Thank you so much for stopping in today!  I always appreciate your visits.

We were hit with heavy frost this morning.  My potted plants and baskets should be OK under the cover of the porch roof, but I wonder how our little sprouts popping up in the garden survived?

Have a good rest of the week!  I’ll be back on Saturday morning, if not before!
