Oh this card has given me nightmare's and I've dreaded making it simply because of the size of it. A work collegue of my hubby's aksed me back in March if I could make a wedding card from himself and his bride tobe on display at their wedding reception for all their guests to sign, we're invited to the wedding so I guess I'll be signing it too, that'll be strange....lol!! I did offer to make a proper wedding guest book but they preferred to have a card with a nice verse from themselves. Anyways they wanted a BIG card...oh eck I thought. So I've taken two A3 sheets of hammered white cardstock, scored and folded in half, then stuck them together so in effect I had four A4 sides to decorate......now do you see why I had nightmares.....lol!!!!
You wouldn't believe the amount of papers I bought to decorate this card. They wanted a particular shade of green, so I bought tons of patterned green papers, spent a small fortune only to realise that I already had these papers amongst my stash....typical....lol!!!
The inside of the card needed to be quite plain in order for the guests to sign
A few Prima flowers, some spacers and charms for decoration.
Another close up of the box
Phew....am I glad this one is finished. I only hope they will like it, especially as we will be there on their big day...I'll be in trouble other wise....lol!!! The wedding is taking place in London so another lovely weekend for me away from the kids...yay!!!!
luv 'n' hugs xx vicki xx

Hi Vicki, What a stunner!! And I just know they are gonna love love it, if they don't then they have no taste at all lol I just adore all the detail. Well done you have come up trumps again.
I just noticed that you asked a question on my blog the ither week about stopping the ink from bleeding when uses copics on printed images. Well the truth is I haven't got a clue all I know is I have an epson printer and use claria inks. They don't tend to bleed when watercolouring either.

Oh Vicki this is just stunning! I wish I'd thought of this for my wedding, what a beautiful keepsake! The couple will be thrilled!
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the images, they arrived today! I love them, and don't have any of those stamps so chuffed to bits! The little car will be perfect for my card. Thanks for coming to the rescue!

I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are not right. I am assured. I can defend the position. Write to me in PM.
It seems to me it is excellent idea. Completely with you I will agree.
