We decided to keep the decorations minimal & focus on creating a delicious meal consisting of puff pastry chicken with cream sauce, salad, potatoes & biscuits! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
To celebrate the engagement we are going to enjoy the clinging of champagne glasses as we toast to the happy couple. I decided to jazz up the cups by making these ring shaped name tags. I purchased a ring image from the Silhouette store & cut on white paper. I used my Kodak printer to print out names. You can do this by: changing the line color & fill color of the text & sending to printer. Before sending to printer make sure you add registration marks so that the silhouette can register the registration marks and cut perfectly around you diamond ring!
Next I constructed a simple banner using my Silhouette Cameo, card stock, distressing ink, sponge, scor tape & lace...everything of which I had at home! I love when that happens.
I decided on the size & style I wanted the base card to look like & sent it to my Silhouette Cameo to be cut. I made sure to make circles in the base so that I could feed my ribbon through to hang the banner.
I then decided on the font & heart images & sent it to my cameo to cut.
I began to ink distress the letters using distressing ink & a small sponge. I felt this was necessary to make the banner look a bit more rustic & soft. After inking, I taped down the letters using 1/4" scor tape.
Using some lace, I strung the cards along. I fed the lace going through the back & up through the front.
And last but not least I hung it up in the front entrance door way so that it will be the first thing my guests see when they enter our home!
it all turned out so amazing!!!!!!! you are so talented!
