A Geeky Love Wedding Card

I love Geeky Love from Make it Crafty! There's a whole series of them - following them from when they meet and fall in love as kids, get married & have a little baby geek. 

Make it Crafty runs two challenges a month 

The Make it Colourful one this month is to use Cast Shadows.

The Make it Crafty Clean and Simple one is to include a Shaker element.

I decided to combine the two and made this wedding card with Geeky Love Kiss.

This card is clean and simple, but I built it up with several layers. 

The red card mat gave it a hint of colour. I built the shaker element by cutting a heart shape out of the base card, the red card & the top layer. I used fun foam with the heart cut out as the spacer as it gave more stability than foam tape. Acetate forms both sides of the shaker.

Here it is standing up so you can see through the shaker. I used beads, sequins and gems to give a wedding theme.

 Here's a close up of the shaker. You can all so see the shimmer on her Veil - I got a little carried away with the Wink Of Stella. I also added a little to the highlights of her dress.

Here's close up of those geeky love birds.

I coloured them with my Copics
