I needed to make two wedding cards so I decided to make them similar to save time and effort. One of the weddings already happened (I'm late again) so I wanted to keep them simple and I didn't want them to be exactly alike. As it happens sometimes, one inked image from an old
Stampendous wedding cake stamp had a few imperfections because the stamp is so large. Hence, I opted to camouflage the 'mistake' with an off-centered ribbon and
asymmetric card design rather than re-stamping. Actually, I ended up liking the 'flawed' card better.
LOL! Which do you prefer?
The background paper is softly
iridescent (from Luxury paper stack pad by
DCWV) so it is a bit hard to see in the photo. I really like this paper pad because it is elegant and perfect for wedding cards. To add more texture to the cards I added paper doilies (Little Yellow Bicycle pack), feathers (fluff pulled from the bottom of a large feather), sheer ribbon, and wedding bells buttons (Jesse James/Cousins) with the shanks snipped off. Oh, the stamped image was colored with Copic pens, cut out, and adhered with pop-up glue dots. Thank you for reading and looking at my blog. I hope you found it interesting enough to cause you to return often. Please leave a comment if you can. I read all of them and it delights me to hear from you.
Remember: A hopeful life is a happy life.

Hi Lynn~
You know what both cards are really pretty. To me, looking at it the ribbon looks perfect either or... Only you know where the imperfection is, it shouldn't be a big deal....it is still stunning...
Beautiful wedding cards Lynn! I am always late too and I really should have a bunch of cards on hand instead of making last minute cards. I have that LYB doilies and I love them. If you get the doily die, you can cut your own doilies.
i love them both!! but the first card with the ribbon off centered is my fave! i like the way it sorta set at the base of the cake... it looks like it belongs there! Wonderful creations Lynn!! can't wait to see what you whip up next...
I think they're both beautiful Lynn, the ribbon looks great on the first card--you'd never know you were hiding something! ;) I need to make me some wedding cards too, thanks for the inspiration!
These two wedding invitation cards were fantastic, the design of the card was very nice. In a wedding ceremony wedding invitation is the main thing which admires all of them for wedding and invite the guest.
