 Hi there! I'd like to present a greeting card made to order for a Wedding Anniversary. I put a lot of work and heart into it and now I'll tell you how it was created. But let me start by mentioning what my long-time client had in mind and asked me for: a colour scheme of bottle green with gold and graphite blue. The main attraction was to be macramé in any form, elegant style with wood elements. In my personal opinion, it came out beautifully boho - what do you think? It's rather normal with me that once a month I create a project in line with the colour challenge on the Dusty Attic blog. This colour combo really coincidentally fell into this challenge, I swear it's a coincidence which I was really thrilled about. The combination of these colours is truly madness. See the poster below.  I encourage all of you to take part in our challenge. of course. All you have to do is add your art work to the comments section of the  Dusty FANattics  Facebook group for a chance...

I greet you today with two cards made for a wedding occasion. This was quite a work-intensive project, it took me three days to finish them. This is because I was struggling to arrange the space... But let's start from the beginning. My customer's expectations were quite clear: A maroon colour mixed with gold, with a reference to an Indian vibe, as the bride and groom have just such roots. I hadn't yet done an assignment with such a style, so it took me a while to go through my supplies in the workshop in search of matching elements. The paper is by Craft Sensations, embossed with a 3D embossing folder from Sizzix and then I highlighted the design very lightly with gold wax. The edges are sewn on the machine with my favourite stitch. The cards have hangers at the top with a delicate white ribbon. The main feature is, of course, the couples in love cut from the 'Romantic Moments' collection extras from Margaret Mycraftime. I've placed them on beautifully decorate...

Hi there! I'm delighted to show two bespoke cards today. Both are already pleasing the eyes of the bride and groom. The expectations of the client were not too complicated this time, I had to make sure it was stylish and elegant, 3D and with gold details. A pleasant assignment! Do you have your favourite kind of work? What kind of orders do you enjoy? I used a beige DL base on which I layered, with space between each layer, a gold frame and on top of this a white decorative paper with a very delicate pattern from Margaret Paper Design. I embossed the paper with a fantastic embossing folder, and further accentuated the pattern by applying a delicate gold wax from Sizzix. The paper is cut along the long edge, and I've incorporated a delicate white lace where it is cut - can you see what a great effect such a simple procedure has had? Naturally, I couldn't resist machine-stitching all the edges here. I made the large paper flower which is the central decorative element myself,...
