Non-Traditional Wedding Colours

A lovely woman at work approached me to make a wedding card. A simple request on face value but then the requirements of colour came into play - Tangerine, Chocolate and Gold not necessary in that order. My initial thoughts where yuck and yuck and yuck some more!!

So I went through my stash to find appropriate papers and then found myself at Lincraft buying a very expensive paper pad which I don't see myself using again in any great hurry. Anyway I finished the card and was happy with the result (maybe just happy that I got a finished card in the end with very non-traditional Wedding colours!!)

Wedding - Lemon and Cream

I had a request from my boss to make a Wedding card with a Lemon and Cream theme. I have been fumbling around with it for days now and really had no more time to put it off. (I hope you didn't notice that I did the other two cards below, that I don't need for weeks, first!!)

Card Specs
Stamp/Image: NIL
Colouring: NIL
Card Stock: Bazzill, Shimmer Card
Patterned Paper: Francheville
Inks: NIL
Die Cuts: Spellbinders Scalloped Circles, Circles
Embellishments: White Opal Liquid Pearl, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Prima flowers and Pearl Bradz

Now I am wondering why I put it off for sooooo long!! Maybe it was the colours not the traditional?!
