A5 Wedding

I needed to make a large wedding card for one of the girls at work who's getting married. It's from the whole department so had to be big enough for 60 odd people to sign!

Grey one layered onto white heart, with a cut out bowtie and pearl buttons.

My first Tatty Teddy card

2011-07-17T09:07:00.002+01:00

My first attempt at this cute little bear, don't think he came out too bad, do you?

I did originally stamp him using London Fog memento ink, but he didn't show up very well after I had coloured him, so I restamped him with black ink, which was much better.

I used Copics to colour the bear and promarkers for the ballon.

Sentiment stamped using summer sky memento ink.

Added card candy to finish.
