Here is my latest Bridal related card. This time it is a Sari (Saree, depending on you) along with some Arabic that says "Bride" as least according to the computer. A reliable source, no? Anyway, this was a tough one because there aren't a lot of pictures of Saris out there that I could work with. I finally did find a photo/drawing that I was able to use and tweak to make it work for me. The original version didn't have the flowing back piece (in pink) but that is the way that some of the Indian women I know wear their sari's "scarf" for lack of a better word. I blinged it up a bit with some gems that I got at M's to replace the squares that came out of the translation cut. I used an embossing folder to give the pink paper the gauzy looking I was attempting to get on it, I think it turned out okay but I had wished I had some fabric to try and make it look more realistic. Maybe on the next one I will try and find some scrap of fabric to try and use it on the pattern that I have made for this particular piece.
On the inside it says: "The perfect wedding dress fits you like your love fits your mate; Perfect in everyway. Congratulations
The quote is my own, and while putting the card together I came up with a couple of sayings I could use on cards but those will have to wait since it is time for.......GASC (Great American Scrapbook Convention)!!!! Money will be thrown around and new goodies will be gotten and more cards will be made.
Cheers!
