This is a very quick post as we're off to Norwich shortly for a family wedding which is tomorrow.
Life has been so hectic since my recent blog break so I'd like to apologise to those I may not have visited much since my return. I will get there.
I have enjoyed joining in with Erika at her Snappy Crafts blog each Friday with an oldie although I've been absent for a few weeks now.
So - I hope this might just qualify as an oldie. It's the card we sent to the happy couple earlier this week.. A very different type of card from my normal style.
It was made about 18 months ago at a Loobi Crafts workshop and I have been hanging on to it since Sophie and Gary got engaged.
I used the de-bossed side of the embossing folder and carefully wiped Erika's favourite sparkle paste over it which fills in the indentations. It is a technique used by Sue Wilson. I also used Sue's dies for this card. The sentiment may seem a bit strange for a wedding card but I thought it really appropriate for the couple it was sent to.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. It sounds as if we're in for a lovely few days in most of the UK.

Very pretty card Barb

What a beautiful card Barb. Thanks for popping over to my blog today. Mum has had a shower unit for the last 10 years and now suddenly since her stroke she is wanting to start having a bath. A real worry as I am sure she will be unable to get in and out of a bath and a bath "belt" would not be suitable.
Have a lovely weekend. We are getting ready for the village show ;) xx
Beautiful card Barb...I love white on white and I am sure your happy couple will be delighted with it. have a good time at the wedding!

Absolutely gorgeous Barb, so very elegant and I love the sentiment, just perfet for a couple starting out in married life.

This is gorgeous Barb and WOW is so elegant, especially for a wedding card. I don't know which one of Sue Wilson's dies this is but it is extremely pretty, and I love the accompanying flowers, which I do have myself but don't use them nearly enough as they go beautifully here, and I love the pearl and ribbon embellishments. Have a lovely time at the wedding. x
A beautiful card, ornate dies are always a good choice for wedding cards.
Hi Barb and thanks for joining me sharing an oldie today. What a beautiful wedding card, lots of lovely dies and I like the sound of using the glitter sparkle in embossing folders, I've used inks and stamps before but not glitter.
Have a super weekend,
hugs Erika. x
Aww that's beautiful! What gorgeous layers!

I embossed the card first Erik then scraped it across the card. Sorry unclear details. I wouldn't want you to cover your EF with paste 🙄 xx
