Engagement Card


Hi everyone, a friend asked me to make an engagement card for her son and soon to be daughter-in-law.   This card on Etsy inspired my card.  The card is a little larger than my regular size to allow for all the family members to sign and write a little something inside.  I started with some white Bazzill Card stock then a layer of pearlised white paper, followed by this pretty rose coloured glitter card stock from Blue Edge Crafts.  The sentiment is computer generated, the little love birds are from Cardmadfairy collection of digital stamps and the flourish is an old faithful Stampin up stamp.  I coloured the birds with my Copics. :-)

Thanks for passing on by.

  1. Delightful card to celebrate an engagement. The SU flourish looks wonderful flowing out from your cute little birds and the pink glittery paper gives it a great pop too. Yes we've had a reasonable amount of rain during the last 24 hours, our street has a hilly decline to it and the water was flowing down quite well, so I'm sure the firefighters will be delighted with this respite. It was still 33C today and the house is still hot. I've had the front door open most of the day, so it is slowly cooling down and hopefully we will sleep a bit better tonight.
    Thanks for popping in, Wishing you a wonderful 2015
    Hugs,

  10. Hi Merry I wanted to come and thank you for your comment that you left on my blog, I have had so many uplifting, heartfelt comments left for me I am a little overwhelmed with them all, I really did not expect so many responses, but it has made me realise that as long as my friends stand by me then I am fine with that because that is all I need. I did not give a thought to people spring cleaning their follower lists or about blogs being deleted etc, just goes to show how naive I am, lol. Thank you Merry have a lovely weekend. hugs
