Our wedding card

Yay! Today I found time to create the greeting card for the wedding.

You know I actually looove paper crafting. In the past I did paper craft every single day … so making this card for Camilla and Edvin is something I’ve been looking forward to and planned how I wanted it to turn out quite some time.

Now, when you’ve been quite good at something (not to brag) and then all of a sudden stop doing it … getting started is such a joy… but it’s also kinda scary… sounds strange? Well, what I mean is the inner critic that shows up and ask if I really still is able to make the card as nice as planned… maybe I’m just messing it all up … I finally got to silence that critic and went to work on the card.

I had some ideas in my head and grabbed some super cute paper flowers and gem stones at the craft store. I went trough my old stash finding some patterned paper I love, some glimmer mist and some white cardstock.

Sharing pictures on my step by step process:

1. here is how I started out. First I had my white cardstock and the paper flowers. I went trough my patterned paper and grabbed three different I thought might be a good fit.

2. I cut the white cardstock in half (now 12″x6″ (measurement in inches))

3. I arranged the flowers and leaves the way I wanted them on the card. Still not gluing them to the cardstock.

4. I grabbed my glimmer mist and gave the middle of the card a little splash of color. I used two different pink nuances. The light one are just a few larger splashes.

Now I let the card dry completely.

5. While waiting for the glimmer mist to dry I hand traced a large heart shape on the patterned paper I decided on using and then cut the heart shape with a scissor.

6. Adding the heart to the card. I went on gluing it all together.

7. Finally I added the gem stones and a few pink pearls.
