Hello there fellow Crafters! Thanks for joining me today.
Hurrah! It is Wednesday! aka Hump Day aka WOYWW day! Happy Whatever day you want to know today as to you all!
If you don't know what on earth I am talking about then hop over to Ms Julia's Blog and you will see what WOYWW means. For those of you who know what I am talking about, here is my desk today.
What is that? I hear you ask! Yes, it is empty!! If you cast your eyes over to the desk opposite you will see that it is full of Invitations. Last night I finished the Invitations an evening quicker than I was expecting. This is how things were at the start of yesterday evening.
And.....
My Darling Hubby kindly cooked the Dinner so that I could get on with them. I was anticipating that I would get as far as attaching the Flutterbies on.
However, they dried quicker than I anticipated (I had a break whilst eating my Dinner part way through adhering them) and so was able to put the finishing touches of the Diamantes on!
I have arranged to meet the Bride on Thursday evening in order that I can take the Invitations to her and meet her (all this has been arranged by my friend who is her Niece and samples going back and forth!). I now want to decorate a suitable bag to put them in and tie them with suitable bows tomorrow before I take them to her.
Here is what they look like finished.
The photos are not brilliant as I have taken the photos under electric light late at night. Apologies for that.
I have had a few comments regarding the Butterfly I have used. It is a Martha Stewart punch. Now a very used Martha Stewart punch!! (Poor thing - I will have to let it rest now!) After punching them added some embossing ink and then I sprinkled with holographic embossing powder to make them schparkley! Some of the butterflies became mottled when the gun was a little warm, but it looks really effective!
Well , off to look at some other blogs. No point in not having a nosey with all those desks waiting!
Happy Crafting to you all and thanks for looking at mine. Please feel free to leave a comment. They do give me a smile when I read them.
Hugs

Your work is neat and so very pretty too. The Bride to be will be delighted, I'm sure.

Your invites are brilliant. Love the theme of following through for the evening ones. Bet the Bride to be loved them.
ReplyDeleteUsing silver plastic bags in your bath rug sounds like fun. Did you have a pattern or just create it? Very late doing the rounds this week.

I love WOYWW for finding some gorgeous new blogs and this week I've found yours. You have some beautiful things, I've really enjoyed browsing.
ReplyDeleteThese Wedding invitations are just lovely, the bride is sure to be delighted with them. I can't believe that heap of butterflies you've punched out, I bet your hands ached after that.
