Shadow Box wedding card

Good afternoon!

I am here with a wedding card I made for a commission, using a technique I found here. It is a 'shadow box' card. 

I have used different sizes to the one on the Little Claire's blog though. I have used an A3 piece of card, and my folds are at 6cm & 11cm from the left edge, and then the same in from the right edge. I used a Martha Stewart border punch, and Sizzix Stampin' Up! Framelits for the aperture and the sentiment. The image is from My Craft Studio Simply Silhouettes, and the corners are Macarena Die from Memory Box. The ribbon and black Swarovski gems are from Ladybug Crafts Ink and the clear gems are from my stash. I made a box for my card as it's such a special card, but it would go into an A4 envelope, I think, as it folds quite flat.

I had a brief of Black and White, and to use artists Fabian Perez and Jack Vettriano as inspiration. My customer LOVED it!! In fact, he even paid me double what I asked for it, which really confirmed the card was perfect for his daughter! I love it when I get such a positive reaction to my cards! :)

Less is more - Music (at Last!)

Good afternoon and happy Monday all!

Well I have had a very busy time lately and my blogging seems to have suffered for it unfortunately. But I am back with a couple of cards today, the first is for Less Is More - Music challenge.

Now I don't have any music stamps and when I looked at 8am on Saturday to see what the challenge was, it stumped me a bit! Then the weekend crept away from me and I almost thought I wouldn't get chance to enter this week! However, here is my card...I hope it classes as 'music'...

It was my friend Jackie's birthday on Friday, but I'm seeing her this week so I thought this would be perfect for her as she loves dancing! The image is from My Craft Studio Simply Silhouettes and I just added the text and gems.

Hope you like it!

Off to post my second card today, for Freshly Made Sketches.
