Pressed Flower Wedding Sample No. 5

The panel on the left side was stuck on. First I crumpled a piece of ivory paper then ran it through my laminator with some lovely pearl foil over it. I love doing this as each time it is different. I mounted the panel onto card - arranged the flowers stuck with clear gel and then covered the whole panel with tulle netting, folding and sticking it down on the back with DST. and then stuck it on the card. I decided to add some pearls for decoration. The punched border was from a Martha Stewart large punch -lightly inked with Tim Holtz spun sugar. I embossed the 'Wedding Invitation' in white embossing powder and then lightly inked the corner with the same ink.

You can see that I added another panel done the same way inside the invitation. Here is a better photo of the lovely sheen from the pearly crumpled paper...
Thank you for visiting today. I hope I've inspired someone to play with pressed flowers and maybe even inspired one of you to make your own Wedding Invites.
See you tomorrow...
Hugs

Pressed Flower Wedding Samples

I made some sample Wedding invitations and cards for the Wedding Show that was aired on Sunday with Joanna Sheen. I will be showcasing one per day over the next few days.

Firstly, here is a picture of all of them for an 'at a glance view'.

My first card is the large Wedding verse card.
I printed the verse in grey along with the oval. I am not sure who wrote the verse that was shared with me some years ago.. I really like it so I put it on this card. All the roses are from Joanna Sheens Roses Pressed Flower pack available on her website and I used pva applied with a toothpick to glue them down. You can see a short video on Create and Craft from Sunday's show here

The close up shows little pearly dots on the card.. I used a glue pen and pearl press on foil..but you could also use a pearl pen for the same effect. I covered the whole of the front of the card with acetate - fixed with DST and hidden by the ribbon down the side of the card.
Thanks for looking
see you tomorrow
