Same sex wedding card

Good evening everyone and thank you for stopping by , it's much appreciated x

Today I am sharing a commissioned card for same sex (male) wedding card. The happy pair were supposed to tie the knot in Lanzarote in July  but due to covid it had to be cancelled. But they had a ceremony back here in London and my work colleague said it was just amazing.

She told me the colour theme and roughly what she wanted and then left the rest to me...... and this is what I came up with.



The card itself I purchased at a craft fair.
Papers were downloaded from Etsy.
Embossing folder not sure who by.
gems I had in my stash, purchased from pound shop, craft fair and online.
Ribbon recycled.
Other papers/card had in my stash, again purchased from craft fair, mainly Limetree Crafts.
Letters are Tattered Lace dies.




I made a box for the card.

Good Friends Wedding Card

Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by today.
Thank-you for all your lovely comments and becoming a follower of mine x

Well, I am now back to work and am adjusting myself to early wake up and settling all the new children into nursery. I must say that it has been nice during our summer break to have all housework, ironing, etc all done and have plenty of time for crafting and spending, lol.
Now I craft and blog when I have time and when i'm not too tired!!

Anyway, today I am sharing a wedding card with you that I made for a lovely couple who are also very good friends. 
They got married last year in Cyprus and had a party back in London for those that could not attend.


This was their colour theme. The flowers were their button holes. The butterflies and wooden 'love' was scattered over their tables.

Just a close up


Another close up


Last close up. The hat pin was also used to attach flowers on guests.


This is what I read out for them and decided to add inside of card so as it's all a keep sake.


The Happy Couple
