Wedding Roses

A few months ago, I made this card for a wedding in September, and forgot

to post it on my blog, so here it is now. The lovely couple are Veronica and

Antonio, hence the 'V' and 'A'.

 

I took the photos on 2 consecutive days, and although the weather was the same both 

days, I can't believe how different the colours are. The true colours are closer to the

ones below. I used my favourite method of cutting my rose petals and leaves from 

parchment, or vellum, then handpainting them with dye inks before shaping them. 

It is a very time-consuming process, but the end result is quite satisfying.

A closer look at the roses on the left...

and on the right. These smaller roses were cut with a combination of

Cheery Lynn dies, and Carl punches.

Inside my card matches the front.

This is just a short post tonight as it is after 1 a.m., and very unseasonably cold. I have had to keep my computer shutdown all day, because we have had multiple electrical storms, and torrential rain. We have just had a brief break from the storms, but unfortunately there is another brewing, and each crash if thunder is getting closer, so I had better bid you all "good night", and shut-down yet again.

Hugs,
Jennifer. x
