A special card ...

If you follow me on Instagram then you have already seen this card but I wanted to share it on my blog as well as it is possibly the most important card I have created this year:


My beautiful daughter married the love of her life at the beginning of November - this card was for her and her husband.

Most of my crafting this year has revolved around this amazing happy event.

From the invitations, there is a blog post here:


... to making over 600 3D diamonds and pyramids to decorate the venue ...


They are approximately two and two and a half inches long - they were strung on white cotton and hung down the sides of the marquee ...



They will feature in most of the group photographs ... unfortunately as it rained all day we had to have the 'official' photographs inside.

... to making table numbers ...


... and diamonds for the place names ...


... I also turned to the kitchen and made chutney, actually 47 small jars and 3 large jars, for the cheese course and wedding favours ...


... and I knitted four lace stoles for the adult bridesmaids and altered one flower girl's dress.

Then the day arrived and we had an amazing day celebrating!!  I'll finish this lengthy post with one photograph from that day ... me and my beautiful daughter


Enjoy!

  1. I love the jewel tones and diamond shapes of the wedding decorations, Elaine, and how the theme was carried out from the invitations to the chutney to the name cards! Those 3D diamonds look so cool hanging in front of the curtain! Your wedding card is perfection and I love the photo of you and Frances together! Thank you for sharing this happy event!! Hugs, Darnell
