Boxed Wedding Card

My friend asked me to make a card for her daughter's upcoming wedding. She had seen the Silver wedding card which I made recently and asked for something similar in ivory with burgundy accents.
This is what I came up with. It includes the couple's names and the date of the wedding.You can see the beginnings of the construction process here on WOYWW. It's just the post beneath this one.
I twinkled the burgundy paper with Spray & Sparkle, before punching and die-cutting.
The embossing is with a Cuttlebug Hearts folder and the punching is Woodware and Nellie Snellen.
As the bow and the embellishments made the card rather fat, I made a box for it too which I decorated with a small version of the heart, together with the couple's initials.
I'm entering it into the Wild Wedding Challenge at Just Us Girls and the Wedding or Anniversary Challenge at Crafty Creations.
I hope they have a wonderful day!

  17. there's no wonder you get so many commissions for your wedding cards - they're so professional and personal... something not available in the highstreet - and certainly not with a personalised box to match.
