52 week challenge, week 20

Nat’s challenge this week for her 52 week challenge is the theme of Rainbows.

Pop over to her blog to see the gorgeous inspiration pics she’s chosen to give us all inspiration.  One photo in particular got me thinking – this gorgeous cake:

By coincidence, I did actually need to make a wedding card for one of the ladies from my Bromsgrove cardmaking class, and as she’s avoided a traditional theme for her invites, I thought it would be a great idea to make her wedding card to fit this theme.  I’d love a cake like this, it’s so beautiful.  Here’s my card:

And as an extra little personalised detail, I added some tags with their intitials, and more little pearls and hearts:

Thanks for a great challenge Nat, I’ve really enjoyed this one!

52 Cards Challenge - Week 1

One of my New Years’ resolutions is to take part in more challenges and try and push myself to try new things (and to use some of my rarely used stamps and stash – after re-labelling all my CD stamp storage cases I was very embarrassed at how many of the stamps haven’t been used for years, and some have never been used *blush*)

So to start as I mean to go on, I thought I’d try and join in with my DCM teamie Nat’s weekly challenge.   The details are on Nat’s blog here

This week's prompt is a design elements and theme prompt:

1. Theme = New (new beginnings, baby, home or simply using new stash - the choice is yours!)
2. Circles
3. Scallops

I decided to go for a new home theme, and in an attempt to use stamps not used for years, I decided to use this old Club Stamp border stamp along the top.  You probably can’t tell too well from the photo, but the borders at the top and bottom are embossed with copper ep.

Here’s a close up of the little tag, I added it to a glittery button, tied with green bakers twine, then I put a little pearl in the aperture – the pearl’s a bit more brown in real life and matches the copper really well.
