Elephants Wedding Wishes

Elephants Wedding Wishes

Made this wedding wishes card for an ex primary schoolmate who is getting married this Saturday.

Viva la Verve Sketches - November Week 1 Sketch

I am adopting Viva la Verve Sketches - November Week 1 Sketch as shown above.

Close-up: Chinese wedding related pattern paper and stripe banner

Pattern paper with 'double happiness' in Chinese character, '喜喜' and Chinese wedding related images is used as the overlay of the background. Then a stripe banner is die cut and attached onto the pattern paper background as in the sketch. A silver ribbon with hearts 'hanging' on the sides are attached onto the earlier two (2) items as shown in the sketch. I did tie a bow as it is hard to tie a bow using this ribbon due to its 'hanging' hearts on the sides. The whole panel is attached onto a red card base using dimensional foam and double sided tape.

Close-up: The female elephant (cow) and male elephant (bull)

The elephants are stamped onto a white card stock and colored using Copic markers. I did not use the elephant natural colors as I like to differentiate the male elephant (bull) and female elephant (cow) literally. Then, they are die cut using the matching dies.

A stitched journal is die cut onto a light pink card stock which will act as the base for the elephants to 'sit' on as shown in the sketch. The sentiment is stamped on center top of the journal card and embossed in gold.

Close-up: Sentiment embossed in gold

The elephants are arrange accordingly below the sentiment and attached onto the journal card using dimensional foam tape. Some hearts flying out above the elephants are stamped onto the journal card to represent that these elephants are in love or is a pair of couple. Finally, the journal card is attach onto the card base as shown in the sketch.

Dimension : 12.7cm x 19cm or 5" x 7.5"

Type : Vertical fold

Inlay : None

Winner of Paper Made Bakery How's The Weather? Release Day and Blog Hop

Paper Made Bakery (PMB) always have some goodies for their monthly Fresh Baked Kit release and blog hop. As there are goodies offered, everyone is getting their chances to win including myself! :P

Well, after months of joining the Fresh Baked Kit release and blog hop, finally, I got my chance to the goodies! I was picked on PMB How's The Weather? Fresh Baked Kit release and blog hop. PMB used to offer one of Fresh Baked Kit as prize but they changed the prize a bit few months ago. Now, they are offering some goodies prize instead of the whole monthly Fresh Baked Kit. Well, I am fine with that since it is free!

It was a surprise for me as I get to won as I never give high hope in being picked. But when I went over to Paper Made Bakery blog to check whose the winner, I am so surprised that I saw my name (my real name cause I login to Rafflecopter using my Facebook). I write to Shannon Fralish right away as it is indicated that I have seven (7) days from the announcement to contact PMB. If not, the prize goes back into the prize picnic basket for a future contest/giveaway! I was like three (3) days late but not too late. :P Shannon replied my e-mail on the same day and informs that she will ship out my prize pack shortly.

Well, after about a week plus, here is the prize pack on my hand! For How's The Weather? Fresh Baked Kit release and blog hop, the goodies prize offered is Hearts-n-Goodies Prize Pak. Judging by the pack name, I am guessing this pack is full of goodies on Valentines' related stuffs since it is Fresh Baked Kit release in February. Well, it is actually as shown below.
