I have been blogging since 2010. I have been married for 32 years and have three children,I have been blessed with Four Gorgeous Grandchildren. I love making my own cards, but dabble in cake making & crochet too. I enjoy going to Alexander Palace twice a year with my mum. I live in Battersea and have grown up here, although me and hubby's dream is to one day live in Spain.....

Bridal Horse Shoe

Today I do not have a card but a project.

I made a commissioned card a few weeks ago & thought I'd like to make a Bridal Horse Shoe.... more of a challenge for myself really. I thought... well, I know it's two pieces of card stuck together, and it could bend... but thought, the ones bought in shops are plastic and could easily snap!

I followed the colour scheme & theme as I did for the card & was very pleased with the outcome & will defiantly recommend this in future to those who want wedding cards. It is identical both sides.

I shall be entering this into the following challenges:
Freshly Brewed Challenges - (anything but a card).
Polka Doodles Challenge - (anything but a card).
The Paper Shelter - (anything goes).


Here is my project .......


HORSE SHOE: Template by Anna Marie.

BUTTERFLIES: Xcut Punch.

CARD STOCK: Anna Marie designs.

RIBBON: Purchased from craft shop & coloured with a promarker.

FLOWERS: Purchased from craft shop & coloured with promarkers.

NOW REMEMBER I HAVE BLOG CANDY UP FOR GRABS.
