"A" The Arceneauxs

Now I had a friend of my friend that keeps me busy (LOL) call me to see if I could do something for a wedding shower gift.  The new couple does not have a house yet (so no decor to match).  She knew that the bridesmaids dresses are going to be red, but did not want to go with that.  She had seen some of my previous letters & wanted to go that route.  I told her about the anniversary one that I had done, see HERE & she loved the idea.  The shower invite had several shades of blue so we decided on that color scheme and this is what turned out.  She said the bride loved it & it was her favorite color.  Don't you just love it when you don't know exactly how to do something & it just turns out perfectly.

Details:
I used my Gypsy and Cricut to design & create this project.
I painted the letter with acrylic paint & spritzed it with some home made glimmer mist (pearlizing medium, warm water, & Mod Podge in a spray bottle).
Then I sealed it with Krylon Preserve It.
Cuts:
Name, Est., & Numbers:  Lyrical Letters
Bride & Groom & Rings:  Wedding
Sign Shape:  Lacy Labels
I painted the rings with metallic gold acrylic paint & sealed with Krylon Preserve It.
I added detail lines on the bride & groom with ultra fine Sharpie markers.
I used a piece of tulle to add to the bride's veil & some I Rock Crystals as a decoration to the veil.

"H" The Hentons

Other than the teacher letters I have done, this is the first letter I have done for a family name.  My friend's aunt was celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary.  So again, my friend thought of me.  I was so excited to make this for her.  She requested the family name and something to represent the anniversary theme.  Also, her aunt is a huge Mickey Mouse fan.
This is what I came up with & was so pleased with how it turned out.  Thank goodness, they all loved it too.

Details:
I used my Gypsy & Cricut to design & create this project.
I painted the letter with metallic silver acrylic paint.  I also painted the rings & the silver layer of the medallion with the silver paint.
All of the pieces that are painted are selaed with Krylon Preserve It.
I stickled the "diamond' on the ring with crystal stickles.
Cuts:
Mickey Images:  Mickey and Friends
Names & Numbers:  Mickey Font
Hearts:  Calligraphy Collection
Rings:  Wedding
Medallion:  Elegant Edges

Oh, & my friend's mom asked me to do a frame for this occasion too.  That will be coming in a later post.

Gold & White Wedding Bells

I made this wedding card for a friend that requested one.  She needed it to be gold & white.  This is what I came up with.

I cut all the pieces from white card stock.  For the gold pieces, I painted the card stock pieces with metallic gold acrylic paint.  I also edged the back layer with the gold paint.
The wedding bells were cut from the Weddings Cart.
The border edges were cut from the Elegant Edges Cart.

Wedding Card by Sketch

This card is playing double duty. It was made for 2 challenges. The Sketch Challenge is for Papertake Weekly and the Wedding Card Challenge is for Cricut Cardz. I had fun making this card.
