Wedding Invitations

Well, it is a glorious day here in Bollington - the sun is bouncing off White Nancy and the blue sky is a wonderful backdrop for such a calming icon.

Today is the day I make the flowers for my cousin's hand crafted Wedding Invitations.  

Creating hand made cards is something I have done for one or two years (ok - make that 21 years!) and have had quite a few of my designs published in several creative magazines over the years (17 years!)

The important thing about crafting is that is has to be a labour of love.  It is no good sitting down to make something beautiful for someone when you are in a bad mood of any kind or feeling rushed.  

Today is a perfect day - my mood is great and by the time I have finished I will feel as though I have had a soothing massage.

So - I am off to make some 'anonymous' flowers (as my Mum would have called them). They are actually inspired by Aquiligia which are one of my favourites.
