Emma's Boots & All Wedding Card

I made this large multi-paged Wedding Card for a friend's June Wedding.  Her colour scheme was Navy, White and Silver with Australian Native Flora. 

Sides views of the exterior Front of card.

A4 White Stardream Cardstock was used as the base of the card with various Navy and mid-dark blues to accent and for the inner pages.

The first set of interior pages.  A quote on Love by Flavia is featured on the left page.  

The right side features a Wedding Dress with a diamonte belt reflecting the Brides actual dress, 

set in a Heartfelt Creations framed arbour.  

A burlap ribbon runs across the bottom of this page with the couple's initials in silver embossed stickers and cowgirl boots, which is what the bride wore.

The Burlap ribbon continues onto the base of the right side of the card with embellishments that suit the theme for the couples Wedding.

My Besties June Summer Fun Tri-Fold Card

For the June My Besties Aussie DT Challenge, I chose the Summer Fun Bestie digi to 

create a Day at the Beach narrative.

I used a Hot-Off-The-Press Bendi Card as the base to build upon.  

Having multiple sides to play with allowed for a more 3D Composition with 

Foreground, Midground & Background flaps.
