Wedding Fever!!

I finally got the wedding cards together, I want lie I slacked off a bit on them, but there really was a ton of pieces to them... there are two girls I work with that are both getting married in the very near future. And the first one i did was Melissa, she said her colors were pool blue, cream and black, and so i did a bride and groom  Which i cut at 3 inches and from the "Simply Charmed" cartridge, and she is holding blue and black flowers and then i but then on a black base card of 4''x5.5'' I then did a blue layer of 3.5''x5'' and pop-dotted the bride and groom, i then used the same button to cut "the happy couple" which i then pot "the" on the front and some dots from previous projects and in the inside i cut a cream colored paper at 5.25''x 4 (so as you could see what was wrote) and then attached "happy couple" inside the card. If you noticed both of the writing is in the blue however the back ground varies, for front i did cream so as to pop a little more and vise versa for inside where i used black to contrast.

 For Mitzi,who is getting married this weekend, Her colors were dark purple and a lavender. So for her card i used the wedding cake with out the berries from "Simply charmed" at first i cut it at 3 inches but being how skinny it was made it real short. So i cut it at 4 inches in a lavender and cut the decorations in a deep purple. for this one i did not do layer 1, I did not want a face on my cake, so i had to do a partial cut again of the purple which i then cut down to put the spiral  on the top layer, I cut the base out of the back of a valentines paper scrap that was silver metallic. I cut the card at 4''x5.5'' and then the second layer was fun I cut a white piece to 3.5''x5 and used a lavender stamp pad and brushed the piece so it had a hint of lavender (ink pad was a cheap little one so didn't work great you see it better in contrast to a white piece or up close) i then did another dark purple layer at 3''x 4.5'' I then put a smaller lavender piece inside (forgot picture sorry) and it was 3''x 4'' which i wrote message, and then i cut a cake at 1.25 in in lavender used a black sharpie to color base and a fine tip pen in purple to draw designs on the cake which i then glued to inside left bottom middle.
Well I also made a giraffe card this weekend i am not crazy about it will post a picture in a bit, i love the way the giraffe turned out i used the scrap where i cut the giraffe out for the card last week, and took a paint brush and brown ink pad  and brushed the stencil and then took a brown fine tip pen and colored in the accents and also the plant with green and pink and then i didn't like where it went from there... lol ill have to try it again and see what i get lol
