An engagement Card

This was a pretty fun card to make...a bit fiddly and as I am still getting to know my way around the Cricut it took a wee while to sort it all out. I wanted to make something pretty for a lovely young couple who have just got engaged ( Logan and Brooke) and incorporate their initials somehow into the card.

 Firstly I embossed silver card.(Just love this embossing folder by Couture Creations called "Lovingly Baroque" as it is so detailed). As the embossing folder was not wide enough, I used it twice and joined it in the middle, of which I covered the join with some bling.
The Cricut cartridge I used was Damask Decor which has an amazing range of beautiful filigree type motives such as this one. You can cut lots of the pieces out in different colours, however I wanted to stick to a simple number of the two, lilac and black to get a more "punchy" effect. The black piece is cut out as the background which is a selection on the Cricut and then the lavender was cut out as the overlay. A little bit of bling was added to lift the whole design and then I cut out the letters of the couple and used ink and pearl ex to lift the design (a little hard to see in the photo) A sentiment was stamped to the bottom of the card.
