It is so nice to celebrate an engagement and what better way to do it than with a unique handmade card.
I couldn’t find the right colour card, so I coloured my own with Promarkers.
I then used this to cut with my Marianne Design Collectables Cats die (COL 1344)
The letters were coloured using Promarkers.
The banner was strung with embroidery thread.
I used the Precious Marieke die #PMI0027 Filigree heart from the romance collection.
I like to keep a few cards made in advance, so that I never get caught out. I made this with a wedding anniversary in mind but it would also be suitable for an engagement.
I embossed a pearly white card blank with Crafts Unlimited Embossing Folder Hearts (#4954012). I used a gold ink pad to highlight the embossing. Two hearts were cut from gold card using the Sizzix Framelits Hearts dies (#657561), using the two smallest dies from the set
I always have a list of cards to make in addition to items for the shop.
This card is a special one, well, all engagements are special, but this one has a story behind it. It is for a friend who I have known for 40 years! We started school together when we were 4! After leaving school we lost touch but Wendy found me on Facebook.
Imagine my surprise when she told me she was getting engaged to somebody we had both been to school with – how lovely!
Card information:
Dark blue aperture card blank embossed using Sizzix texturz “Lots Of Love”
Names were cut from light blue card using Sizzix decorative strip alphabet “Wingo Zingo”
Here’s wishing them both every happiness
