RSVP. . . . . . . Hindu Stylie


Good morning chaps and chapesses. Hope you are well or as well as you can be. A mixed bag of weather eh? Still, our fabulous Scottish Posse will be leaving on a jet plane (but we do know when they're back again. . . . .if you get that, you're showing your age lol !!!) tomorrow to become bronzed, chilled Turkish Delights again. Safe travels my lovely friends and lets have no diplomatic incidents.

Now, today's card was made at Nesta's request, to send to her niece as an RSVP to her first wedding in August (this is the Hindu Blessing, the English legal one is in October. . . . .one to arrange was more than enough for me). Her niece has a purple and gold theme, hence the engagement card I made (click here to be reminded) and the 30th birthday card (click here).

The invite was very similar in style so I tried to keep it in the same vein.
Its a 6x6 cream card base topped with a gold mirror card layer. I then cut the largest of SB Captivating Squares from the centre of a slightly smaller piece of purple PMD card.
I ran this through the GC with a mask I had made using The Striplet, to emboss it and foam padded this to the gold layer.

Close up of the embossing. . . . . . . . .



For the centre, I cut a piece of purple card using The Striplet, as per below, and cut a circle from it (with scissors as I'm working on getting a set of plain circle nesties). . . . . . .




I have saved the frame portion to use on something else (coming to a Pond near you soon).
I then cut a small piece using one of the SB Blossom sets and drew Lord Ganesh on this in gold gel pen freehand (sorry, the gold looks more like silver on the photo).


I also went round the edge of the embossing with the pen too. Apparantly, its auspicious to have Lord Ganesh on cards for weddings.
I then foam padded this to the filigree circle and then glued this flat to the mirror card. A bit of purple bling added here and there and as Gordon Ramsay would say, "Done!"

Well that's me for today folks. Its my birthday so I've managed to get an earlier shift today (couldn't have the day off as its a busy week) so I can at least have the afternoon to eat cheesy poofs and have fun.

Hope you all have a great day too.

  4. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. It's a pity you have to work, but enjoy your evening and as Patricia says I hope you get what you have Hinted for. Your card is stunning and it's special as she won't get another one of the same. I am all packed but I have to work right up till I get on the airport bus ( picking the girls up from school and they are coming with Charlie to take me down to meet up with Patricia and Elaine then he will drop them off at home ) so roll on tomorrow now.

  13. Hi Ang, a bit late but still just in time to wish you a happy birthday and I hope you have had a lovely day.
    I don't go on holiday until the 16th June but I am sorry I have been missing. My computer went on strike, something about one update not liking what was contained in another update so as they were not talking the whole thing shut down - or that's how my computer man explained it to me this afternoon! Of all the cheek he went away for the bank holiday just when I most needed him. Still had hand written all the accounts and have managed to get them all typed up after he left so everything is now ready for the Trustees AGM on Friday.
    I am so amazed it is a year today since I first came to your blog, I just don't know where the time has gone. Your drawing of Ganash is just as good as the one you did last year and makes a real statement on your card doing it by hand.
    Bye for now, Jackie

  16. Oh, Happy Birthday, Mrs. Duckie Doodle Doodahs and many, many more! I hope you got tons of cheesy poofs and drinkie poos and lots of puddle splashes, as well!! Your card is impressive! I'm sure it will be treasured by the newlyweds! Go celebrate!!

    Oh, Ang, to answer your question, yes ATCs get swapped. It's like trading baseball cards. Some crafters are really into them and it's a full-time hobby. I've only ever done them for WOYWW. Oh, oh, and yes I'm old. I got the leaving on the jet plane and now it's a worm in my head, thank you very much! Hugs, Darnell
