Favourite fabric embellishment at AYLI

 Hello friends and visitors. 

It's the day for a new challenge at

where the theme is

Favourite fabric embellishment (and tell us why)

I love a bit of ribbon or lace to add a bit of texture to a card or project. I confess to having rather a lot of ribbons and lace that I have accumulated over the years so there is usually the right colour in my box.

On this occasion I found some pretty lace topped off with a thin satin ribbon to adorn Connor and Amelia's wedding card.

The digital image is from Lili of the Valley called Just Married. I coloured them with Promarkers. The paper and the die cut heart are both from the Rustic Wedding collection at Crafters Companion. 

The wedding seems like such a long time ago now. The happy couple had a minimoon in Naples and are planning a get away to Europe for a few weeks in December to visit the Christmas Markets.

Thank you for your visit, it's much appreciated xx

Allsorts Romantic Occasions

Liz has chosen our optional theme at Allsorts this week.

It's all about Romantic Occasions if you want to be tempted by a challenge. We'd love to see your Anything Goes makes too. Prizes will be drawn at the end of the month.

Prizes from Highlight Crafts,  AALL and Create and Stampendous

I have made an anniversary card using a paper pad and die from a Crafters Companion collection called Rustic Wedding. I rather like the earthy tones that really are quite different.

I used an LOTV sentiment and a wooden "love" embellishment that I found in a drawer. I added lace and pearls as a nod to the kind of trim that might adorn a wedding dress. As we are now in July let's hope that the summer brides are going to enjoy some good weather now, unlike the first six months of the year!!

Talking of weather we had plenty of rain yesterday after a dry spell so it was quite nice not to have to water the garden.

Hope that you will join us. Have a good weekendxx

 

I do

Good morning my crafty friends. I know it is unusual for me to make an appearance on a Sunday but I wanted to!!  It's a wedding card I am sharing today and I had great fun fiddling and faffing!! 

I used one of the adorable images from the Wedding Trio set from LOTV.
The papers are Nitiwits Cherish collection. The flower was made using one of the very first MFT die sets that I ever bought. Dawny P used them a lot, back then, and it me took ages to source them and I was so thrilled when I finally tracked down a set!! I inked the edges with Weathered Wood DI. The happy couple were coloured with Promarkers.

I am looking forward to the coming week...nothing too exciting but it finally looks as though the wet weather might stop for a while...I know, I am easily pleased!! The thought of no muddy dogs or horses makes me very happy!!

I hope you have a good Sunday, whatever you are up to xx
