Not Just Cards Challenge Blog - August Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We are still busy trying to sort out care for my parents. We have a meeting at the hospital today. I hope that things will move forward then.

On the 11th of the month the new challenge starts on the Not Just Cards Challenge blog and the theme is always Anything Goes. 


This is the card that I made for the couple who got married in Malta. Unfortunately they never received it as it got badly damaged which was a shame and I don't have time to make another one. The die is from the Crafter's Companion Rustic Wedding collections. I printed the background on the computer. The die was cut three times, twice in black and once in white just for the couple so they stand out and look a bit more bridal.  


To highlight the detail on the trees I used Pebeo gilding wax that I am very impressed with but I am  still a bit heavy handed with it. 


This is a Tattered Lace die that has been very useful. 


It is a shame they never received this card I did make them a frame of the invitation design. Her brother had drawn the images to use. I had to put them together. As it is not my artwork I don't feel I can share the frame. 

Have a great weekend

We are going out with our daughter and son-in-law and our new in-laws. It is to celebrate both dad's birthday's as they come close together. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie
