For The Newly Weds.

Hi again :)

Some lovely friends of mine recently got married. They had their ceremony on a gorgeous beach in Thailand. The bride arrived by elephant! Can you believe that?! An actual, real live elephant! I find that amazing. It even stayed for photos. I wonder if an elephant has a "good" side...

So, keeping in mind their tropical nuptials, this is the wedding card I made for them - they haven't actually seen it yet and I know they read my blog sometimes...so hey you two, have a look with your eyes closed :)


Ahhhhh....doesn't it conjure up visions of white sand, blue water and cocktails?

Card Stock by Kaisercraft "Pistachio"
Papers - possibly by Christina Re as I had a big stash of those...
Grosgrain Ribbon by Kaisercraft
Buckle by Christina Re
Rub-on by Kaisercraft Basics "Baby Boy"
Ink by Versa Color "Sage 187"

And...embossing by my new embosser! 


Isn't that embossing lovely? 
The rub-on is actually from a "baby boy" themed pack. The original rub-on I was going to use didn't apply very well so this was a second choice, but a better one in the end. The green works well. 


A cute little buckle...and more embossing...


And the inside...

Nice and simple :)

Thanks for dropping by.

      Me too Tan. The feel, the smell, the colours, the sticky sap :)

      Hi Deb :) Thank you! Simple can look so good, don't you think? Especially with a little embossing :) I really liked the white, yellow and green combo.

      Hi Kris, thanks so much! The polka dots would have to be my favourite at the moment. Very versatile :)
