To Have and to Hold

Hi, hope you're enjoying the gorgeous weather,

This is one of the cards I made for the Stamp Magic show
 i'm going to enter the following challenges:
Tuesday Taggers~ Wedding Day
Stamp Something ~ Vintage with Flowers

The scallop step card is a new creation from Whichcraft uk. These were only launched on Sunday along with a couple of others so I don't think they are on the web site yet but i'm sure Paula will be able to let you know when they are...why not sign up for their news letter.

The size when closed fits into an A5 envelope.
I distressed the scallop edge with TH vintage photo ink.
 The lovely image is Tilda and Edwin bridal couple, which I coloured with copics.
I'm not doing very well for telling you the pens I used.
My notes have disappeared under piles of papers that i've been using for the last couple of weeks.
 It's been a busy month but i've enjoyed it soooo much!!
Dp is 'Something Old' from the Magnolia wedding collection and gold star dream cardstock from my stash.
Sentiments were written on the computer and inked with Vintage photo ink while the nestie was still on, it gives a nice border.
Martha Stewart heart punch and EK Success retro flower punches to make the flower.
The leaves from a woodware punch.
I would have put some pearls on  but couldn't get any ivory ones in time.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look. Do please leave a comment so I can visit you.

Love cherie   //*.*\\

Pile it on challenge # say it with words

Hi,
The challenge over at pile it on is to make a creation with a sentiment as the focal point ( no image )
and the other requirement is to enter at least one other challenge.

I'm also entering in the Lily of the Valley challenge which is to use blue and silver.

My niece asked me to make a wedding card. I did start out with the intension of making it contemporary
but it kind of evolved into vintage, but she likes it.
The base card stock is by stamping up from the neutrals assorted pack from Victoria
I used an embossing folder by sizzix it has 3 lovely borders in it too, on stardust card.
The patterned paper is from my stash which I punched with 2 different  Martha Stewart heart punches.
Check out the do crafts online shop I got the heart sentiment punch for 99p it's by Anitas, along with others, a bargin!!!! I stamped with versafine sepia.
Blue aster flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  white one from stash.
Nestys lables 4 for tag and sentiment mount
 Thanks for stopping by.
Love Cherie  //*.*\\

Teddy Stampers #5 Get Sketchy

Hi,
A very late entry for Teddy Stampers challenge. I got mixed up and thought it was an easel card, so at the last minute made another one.

The lighting is not very good I had to use a lamp.
I will put the easel card on also and I will put it into last times Teddy Stampers "love" challenge.

As it's late I will edit this post later.
