Mercury Glass Wedding Cards With Case This Sketch #293

We needed a wedding card this past weekend so I made an extra one using the same elements with slightly different background paper.  The background paper is "Mercury Glass" by Recollections.  The bridal couple is a Cricut cut from the Close to My Heart Flower Market cartridge.  The Celebrate sentiment is a Crafter's Companion die.  Which do you like better--silver or gold?

My card layout was inspired by this fabulous Case This Sketch #293:

Seize the Birthday #8--Golf Theme

Welcome back to my blog!  This week it's masculine birthday card making at Seize the Birthday #8.  I really liked the sketch and decided to play along.  I used the Close to My Heart Art Philsophy cartridge to cut the label on the right hand side of the 6.5" x 5" card (page 53 layer cut at 3.75") from Outdoor Denim CS.  The background paper is from the Lucky paper pack (retired CTMH).  The golf ball (Tee Time acrylic stamp set--retired CTMH) was stamped in Outdoor Denim ink onto glossy paper (retired CTMH), trimmed and popped up from the tee with 3D Foam Tape.  The tee was stamped in New England Ivy ink onto glossy paper (retired CTMH) and also popped up from the background with 3D Foam Tape.  The greeting was made on my computer using the Showcard Gothic font. 

 

Here is the sketch from Seize the Birthday:
