a little something for a challenge

This is a wedding invite/card, it has a wallet inside for the invite to go, i was asked to make it for an indian wedding, the mother of the bride gave me the actual red wallet, she wanted me to decorate it appropriately and put names an dates on etc, i made the beaded flowers and the tassell and put gems on the card, i used cute card thursday challenge #56 for this card, which was called floral fantasy,

what do you think???

my entry for abc challenge

Here is my entry for this weeks challenge over on http://abc-challenge.blogspot.com/ its W for wallet,

this was my take on it, i got this idea out of one of my papercrafts books,

To make this i used my simply elegant backing paper from papermania, penny black stamps, and for extra effect popped some gold coloured beads onto some wire attached to a lovely prima flower,

there are 6 pockets to card this with gold gems stuck to each and decorated with some laura ashley papers as they seemed to match up well, to finish off used some old scraps of gold ribbon as a tie, and put some gold peel offs on and some gold stickles.

monday morning crafting (5)

well today we thought we would have a go at making a wallet card as Ive never made one of those before, Jilly showed me how to make one and i was surprised at how simple they were, also as a bonus we decided to do one of the sketch challenges, we had a look around blog land and decided upon this one on http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/ it is a fairly simple sketch to do as my inspiration has been lacking of late i didn't want anything to intricate lol. I'm actually quite pleased at how it turned out for a change lol, Jilly also went off the same sketch, to see hers just visit her blog http://jillyscreations.blogspot.com/ considering this morning was a bit of a mare with our two young boys misbehaving we actually produced some decent work lol. have a look and let me know what you think?
