Hey Bleeps! TGIF!! I'm so excited to share with you this vintage-modern wedding card. I can picture this given to one of the Ace of Cakes employees again. I watch way too much Food TV! Anyway, this card is for Caardvarks new challenge...wedding cards and is sponsored by CARDS magazine. Both elements of this challenge make me super happy because I enjoy making wedding cards and also browsing and creating for CARDS magazine. So, each of you should make a wedding card and enter it into this challenge because the winner will get PUBLISHED in CARDS' July issue! Isn't that great news?! I was so excited when I first heard about it and couldn't wait to share it here!
About this card...
Last weekend, I knew I had to make this card for the challenge to share with you all, but as usual I was procrastinating because I "think" I work well under pressure! :) We were snowed in a bit on Saturday and I was watching Extreme Home Makeover. It was a repeat I believe (the one with Mary J. Blige as the special guest). Well, one of the designers added damask wallpaper to one of the rooms. The wallpaper was purple with a gold damask pattern. I immediately said aloud, "That is so pretty. I'm making a card from that!" So, here it is!
Speaking of snow. We're expecting about 20" at least starting today through Saturday. So, I guess I'll be watching more TV, making more stuff, cooking, looking out the window, and napping! This is going to be one long weekend, but a happy one!
Take care and enjoy yourself!
