wishing you everything wonderful on your wedding day


 good morning crafters
welcome to my photo heavy share for today.
an elaborate wedding card i have made for my cousins son: James and Darlene's recent wedding.


i have to confess i don't usually plan a card so meticulously 

front of card box

i have to do at least one and follow the brief that had been set out, a very enjoyable challenge.


i have surpassed everything i had in my head..lol
from the brief it had to include the date and have a vintage look using
creams & greens


i'm not one for putting everything down on paper


if it fails then i usually start over again
