Wedding Card - Freshly Made Sketches 124 & Case this Sketch 65

I am back today with another card that I LOVE. As soon as I saw the inspiration sketch for Freshly Made Sketches, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to fuse my love of card making with my love of New York….. I had a gorgeous die from Tattered Lace that I wads desperate to use and so all of this combined would create the perfect Wedding Card for my best friend who gets married in the summer.

I wanted to make use of the New York skyline in my card and picked out the infamous Rockafeller, Empire State and Chrysler buildings and recreated them in a stylised way using black and white card. This part was quite painstaking and involved a lot of measuring, precision cutting and the use of a sharp craft knife.

The Empire state makes use of foam pads in order to recreate the 3D look of the building.

This card actually uses very few materials and so the real focus is on the lines and images created. I quite simply love it!!

Here it is……

To finish the card off, I added a bit of sparkle to the dress by way of some stick on crystals on the Bride's dress.

Any comments as always very much appreciated xx
