Jo's Crafty Corner: Another card

Hi again,

It's been a long time (LOL) Hope you are all doing fine.

Well I have another card that my sister-in-law has asked me to make. This time it's a wedding card for friends of my brother & sister-in-law. This was a little bit of a challenge and I didn't really know what I was going to do for this, considering I didn't know these people or any colours to use, so I just had to go with what I thought and my sister-in-law absolutely loved it and when she showed my brother-in-law, he couldn't believe that "lil ole me" had made it (I know - big head right now....LOL) So I know, now your all waiting for a happy snap! Here it is....

For this card I have used white bazzill, cut out the middle using spellbinders nestabilites labels, (sorry not sure what number they are) embossed the top with my flourish embossing folder, used acetate in the middle. I cut the love heart using my cricut machine, along with the flourishes, using chipboard, inked them with white staze on ink, spritzed them with homemade white spritz and glossy accents on the top, along with the pearl bling on half the love heart, made roses from Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and white bazzill and inked the edges with distress ink, victorian velvet, and kindy glitz. I have also cut a smaller label and inked it with victorian velvet also and added the words by computer.

As pictured below, I have also made a matching box for the card to go in. I have cut the middle out of the lid of the box, so you can see the card through (thought it would be a good idea), I have

used versamark to stamp and emboss the flowers on the lid (one of my stamps from my stash, not quite sure what its called - sorry), and inked it with victorian velvet and added some pearls around the edge. For the inside of the card, I added a sentiment and again uses the distress ink, victorian velvet around the edges.
