Crafty Boots Challenges - New Beginnings and Celebrations


The theme over at Crafty Boots Challenges this fortnight is 'New Beginnings'.  I decided to show some wedding invitations that I made for a wedding in December.  

I started with a blue pearlescent card base with vellum embossed with a snowflake pattern on top.  Blue and white ribbon and bow, silver card candi and flat backed gems.  Stamped and embossed the bride and groom's initials (mounted on the same blue card).  Finally champagne glasses cut on the cricut and glittered.

I forgot to post the Save the Date cards which I made for the same wedding and used on the previous Crafty Boots Challenge!

I cut these with the cricut again and used the same ribbon.  I added glitter around the edges and used flower soft on the 'round bits'!

  4. The invites are really pretty. I love the soft blue and that just might be the most perfectly tied ribbon I have ever seen! You may have just inspired me to have a go at embossing vellum. I am always sure it will tear, but clearly it can be done! Take care xx Denise
