Wedding gift wall art

Made this for a friend of mine who had some young family members getting married soon. She said grey, cream, & a deep red, gave me a couple of pictures, and set me free! I chose to use some old cedar planks as the base, it has a great coloring (almost grey) to it without me having to do anything.

I think this is my favorite part of it. I found this great old handle, sanded it, and put her on there. I love wall art with 3D stuff. When they hang this in their home, the tags (made from sheet music, stamped on, spritzed with a 'starfish' glimmer mist, then hung on the handle with misc. ribbon) will freely hang/dangle. Each tag says something different so depending on the angle you look at it, you'll see something different. I stamped the swirls & birds (SU) in black and found some great old buttons for the corner. The hearts are chipboard that I covered with paper and distressed.

Dominoes and a doily... can't go wrong! Throw in another great button, some hat pins, and pearls and you've got a stylish chic corner. I stamped and heat embossed the "MR" and the "MRS" in black, and did the "&" in white.

If we weren't friends, I wouldn't admit to busting up my finger making this project. I used beer & root beer bottle caps for this. I took them outside to flatten with a hammer in the driveway. Let's just say I missed the cap once. Ouch. I did mess up on this. Twice. Let's not play "find the mistakes" though, K?! I absolutely loved how it turned out, wish they were pictures of me & hubby so I could hang it up in my home, oh well. Congrats you two!!

Card base is basic black CS. Covered with an ink distressed piece of Cream CS that has script stamped in walnut ink, torn at the top. Girl is from SU set, stamped in versamark and heat embossed with pharoahs gold on a piece of old sheet music. Used lovely piece of sparkle gold ribbon to catch the eye.

wedding accessories

i bought this creamy pillow at michaels and wrapped it with sheer wired chocolate ribbon coupled with a thin chocolate. the teal around the middle is actually left over material from my dress. turned out just gorgeous, matching our colors pefectly!

i made all the bouquets, mine and the two bridesmaids (my daughters walked with me). got all flowers from michaels craft store and paired magnolias, hydrangea's, roses (large open), and peonies with feathers and twigs. covered the stems with a creamy satin ribbon and covered that with the same sheet chocolate as in the pillow.
