This summer I have the privilege of attending three wedding for some very dear friends. Along with this comes a dilemma, though. I really want to make something special for each of them and yet I have been drawing a total blank on what that special something should be...until the other night, when my completely stopped up (and yet at the same time, running like a faucet) nose was preventing me from sleeping. I'm not exactly sure where the idea came from but it ran somewhere along the lines of making a monogram/family crest kind of thing for each of the couples. This is how the first one turned out.
I used some older Crate Paper papers that I had on hand and a random sheet of scalloped paper that I had laying around.
I used thick chipboard letters that I Mod Podged the paper onto and then popped up the two side letters to add some visual interest.
I then added some ribbon and vintage looking lace across the bottom half and some coordinating dew drops around the scalloped edge. I also chalked all the edges with Chestnut Roan Catseye chalk ink.
Lastly, I added a few vintage K & Company rub-ons where I then carefully wrote in the year of the couple's uniting. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and now I can't wait to get to work on the other two.
