.... Valentine's Day. My cousin got married in Edinburgh last week, so we went over there for a few days. The wedding was held in Mansfield Traquair - it's a deconsecrated church in the Georgian New Town section of Edinburgh and is the most magical wedding venue I've ever seen. Here's the front door:
And here's the main interior all set up for eating and a closer shot of the altar area where the ceremony took place:
Isn't it divine?!
The wedding invitation was art deco in style, so I made a card with a nod to that era. Here it is:
I'm entering the following challenges: Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge ("Upcycle/Recycle" - I've used a little heart charm from a Lindt rabbit), Crafty Cardmakers ("Love, love, love"), Creative Card Crew ("Love"), Lemon Shortbread and Creative Inspirations ("Anything Goes") and Moving Along with the Times ("Words Only - No Image").
I used liberal amounts of gold embossing powder, to go with the black/red/kraft colour scheme and the art deco style lettering. I also gold-embossed some wood veneer hearts - they came out really well. Here's a side-shot:
