Engagement cards...


Well my internet, phone and TV service was down most of the day yesterday - thank you so much Virgin Media!! Felt pretty much the same way myself too as I am still full of a dreadful chest infection that is stopping me from sleeping and making me feel so low. Off to doctors today - hoping for a miracle cure!!!
However, card making alway helps and I had a little flurry yesterday making engagement cards for a commission from one of Laura's Uni friends.
I printed a whole sheet of romantic images from Joanna Sheen's fabulous Dancing with Shadows CD on to inkjet acetate. I love the effect you get when you lay a silhouette printed on acetate on to a sheet of glitter card. Winter scenes look stunning on white and others look good on some blue and white shaded glitter card I have that looks almost like a cloudy sky.
For this romantic couple in the sunset I used some glitter card that has almost a rainbow of warm shades running through it. I was hoping to pick up the sunset that was already printed on the image to some extent.
Quite difficult to take photos of acetate cards -tried one on white paper which looked really silly and finally decided that this one was the best. The tag will have the couples name on to finish the card.

What a gorgeous card Ann, a really beautiful effect. Acetate cards are something I haven't tried and keep meaning to, your card has made me determined to give it a go.

This is absolutely stunning Ann. I really must dig out the Dancing with Shadows CD and have a play ... and if I could achieve results half as beautiful I'd be a very happy bunny.
