CD Sunday Challenge - Bling it Up



I was asked this week to make a wedding card for this coming Saturday. The friends who asked for the card have a caberet act with the Groom based on The Rat Pack so they wanted a card that would reflect that. No pressure there then!


I took an A3 card and folded it in half for the base of my card. I then decided to make my own backing paper in Word made up of some of the song titles repeated across the page which I printed out in pale grey.


I then used My Craft Studio Celebrations Volume 2 for the decoupage roses. I passed my backing paper through the printer a second time to print the first layer of the decoupage. I then mounted this onto some black paper embossed with roses. I printed, cut and addedthe other layers of the roses.


I've added a white ribbon, white pearl hearts and a Marianne die cut butterfly with a body of crystals to finish off.


I thought this would be nice for the CD Sunday challenge this week of "Bling it Up".

  6. A very beautiful card on a tricky theme.. I love your take on it! Any comment on the Rat Pack takes me straight to thinking of Frank Sinatra, and then the rest of the day is wasted on YouTube!!!
