Apparently this card here is the 100th I post on this blog, which is a small milestone for me. Little did I know when I first purchased crafting supplies a year ago that I would sit here today writing about my 100th card. It certainly won’t end here. I made sixteen (yes, that’s 1 6) cards at the weekend. It was nice to have the time to do them all.

Today’s post is another wedding card. I still have a handful more that I need to post. It’s been a long week so far and I’m glad it’s nearly weekend, although I doubt it will be any less busy than this week has been and the next will be. Hopefully I have a little more time to fit some crafting in next week though.

Always the same soft wonderful colours. Here is my take on a shabby chic card:
