A
great time was had by all at their engagement party on Saturday night.
Their Engagement Card is a mix of "distress" and "bling". I love the Tinted Vision Fragment technique with Alcohol inks (Page 55 COC 1). Instead of using a fragment, I applied the inks to a piece of acetate. The photo I used was on the engagement party invitation. I scanned, cropped and printed it in black & white. I also love my new Distress Stains. I embossed the cupid and flourish on watercolour paper, then applied Picket Fence and Broken China Distress Stain over the top. I then stamped the text and engagement ring images and blended some some Distress Inks around the edge. The embellishment was made by hand embossing foil paper. I then added a hand made beaded pin, a bought beaded embellishment, ribbon and a heart shaped charm which I coloured with alcohol inks and added some kindy glitz for shine.
The card evolved as I was creating. The only thing that turned out as planned was
the colour scheme. LOL As the wedding will be held in the beautiful "Whitsundays Islands", the colours are a reflection of the amazing colours of the Pacific Ocean around the Great Barrier Reef. So, before I show you my creation, here is a couple of pics from the party.

The inside cover of the card has stamping and blending using Distress Inks. It has a pocket for a Gift Card. The feature on the pocket was cut from a piece of scrapbook paper and distress inks were blended over it. |
