Must be time for Autumn weddings. When time permits I try to make cards for special people in my life. At first I thought it would be a way to save money..............have you seen the ridiculous price of a nice card these days? The materials and time involved in designing and creating an attractive card can become a bit costly too, but what a great feeling knowing you have made something you are proud to give, and to see how much the recipient enjoys it.
This week I made these two wedding cards. The first one was for my hairstylist and building contractor. We introduced these two special friends last December and today is their wedding day on the beach in Costa Rica!!!
In England, a wedding tradition is to give the bride a lucky sixpence.......a silver coin from Britain's 'old money' used before the metric system.
"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a lucky sixpence for your shoe."
The card below is for the very nice young man, and his fiancee, who bought the house next door last year. Next Saturday we'll be attending their wedding in South Carolina at the bride's family farm......small country church ~ outdoor reception ~ sounds fun.
