Magnolia Wedding Card


Good morning everyone, Becky here with you on this cold Monday morning. I hope that those of you in the UK don't have too much disruption from the snow. You might remember that two weeks ago that I said I was on Jury Duty, and I have managed to land myself on a case that is expected to run 8-10 weeks, so no nights, lates or weekends for me for a while, yay!!!

For today's card I have used some of the new goodies from the You're Invited collection from Magnolia, and some older Maja Design papers, which are currently on sale :)


I have used my Distress Reinkers to colour this lovely couple in, white takes a lot of effort to look not that much different. If I'm honest I never thought that I woulld use this typewriter, until I used it-I love it, and I know that I will use it a lot more!!


Here it is in close up, it is so intricate, I have forced the keys out so that they stand slightly proud.


Some of these flowers are from my stash, the ones that I have used from the shop are at the end of the post.


Here is an arty shot of the card, you can sort of see the keys on the typewriter. The sheet in the typewriter is part of the die.


Thank you for popping by,

Hugs,

Becky xx

Live, Love and Laugh


Morning everyone, I hope that you have all had a lovely time the last few weeks, I had a quiet time, but it's been lovely to have been off work with my babies. I'm hopefully in for a bit of fun these next two weeks too, I've got jury duty!

Today's card is something totally different for me, but it is something that I have been toying with doing for a while so I hope that you like it...


I told Suha that I was planning on doing something different, and that I hoped what I had in my head would come out OK, it's not quite what I had pictured, but I really do like how it has turned out.


The focal point is LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH from Gummiapan, and I have used the HEN'S NET stamp also from Gummiapan to distress the edges.


Tucked behind the sentiment layer is a HEN'S NEST DIE, from Gummiapan.


PINE CONES aren't just for Christmas, they also look lovely on flower arrangements, there is also my favourite CURL FLOWERS, CHERRY BLOSSOM, VINTAGE WHITE FLOWERS and PAPER FLOWERS. There is also COUNTRY LEAVES doohickey dies, you don't thinkk that I would make a card without using a Magnolia product do you, lol??!


I have used papers from Maja Designs Denim & Friends, I have used both sides of HEARTBREAKER, one side of BLAZER and also from Shades of Denim the solid colours of DARK BLUE and AQUAMARINE.

Thank you for stopping by,

Hugs,

Becky xx
