Ball Wedding Gift

Another wedding gift for a dear friend. I’d been so caught up in my own hectic life I didn’t even know she was engaged until I received the wedding invitation! I feel like such a bad friend, but I know she understands. Mom’s illness and hubby’s job lay off kind of became my main focus for the past 2 years. (Please see the Ins and Outs for links to the challenge websites and feel free to join in the fun).

Another TOTAL cheat here, but since Ball is their last name; doesn’t that count for the challenge?

My Creation

Image Detail

TIP ~ Here’s another example of customizing your supplies to fit the project at hand. I LOVED these chipboard letters – they are FUZZY! However, they were also BRIGHT red in color. Quick fix was to take find the perfect marker match and color over it. I was surprised how well my Copic changed the color of the chipboard and the fuzz to what I was looking for. I had to freehand the 2009.
