This week we've been sponsored by Creative Cuts, who sent the whole team a collection of wedding themed die cuts. And it's a colour splash week, which was great for a wedding theme. Just look at the colours Julie chose:
This week you get to choose your 'splash' colour from pink, copper or gold. I was going to turn my cake box into something with legs etc but then discovered that Steampunk Weddings are happening out in the wedding world (and there are some cool ideas out there, just google 'steampunk wedding' for some fab images!) so decided to go with that as a useable theme.
The cake boxes fit together (if you have enough of them!) to make a whole cake so I co-ordinated them to work in this way. I cuttlebugged the boxes and added zips, lace, cuttlebugged copper and stamped clocks and butterflies.
The butterfly is by Memory Box, and the clocks by The Artistic Stamper.
The wedding card came as a blank white card with the die cut edge and dress shaped aperture. I put the cuttlebugged copper sheet behind the aperture, and added the pearls, then sewed lace and zip along the fold. The 7 gypsies paper inside and the snap fasteners are elements I only added because the colour challenge is 'black and white with a splash of ...', but I'm glad I did. That's the great thing about challenges, sometimes you end up doing things you wouldn't otherwise do!
Although our design team are using Creative Cuts pieces, you can enter with anything that is
black and white with a splash of
pink/gold/copper
