Yesterday, one of my colleagues announced that her boyfriend had proposed on Saturday. Initially, she kept it to herself, but I spotted the stunning multi-carat diamond ring and coupled with the unusually bouncy, friendly mood, put two-and-two together, so the cat was out of the bag! So.. needed a quick card last night.One of my favourite artists (and I use that term deliberately, as her work is stunning and way beyond my reach) is Paula (Bettyboo). Just recently, she posted a series of cards with pure white space around the focal point, which I love, so I used the inspiration from one of those (the one with the butterfly, HERE)...
Paula kindly gave me permission to post my take on her card....
The DP is Basic Grey Euphoria, glued to card and raised on pads. The names are computer-generated, and also raised.
I would thoroughly recommend visiting Paula's blog if you get the chance. You won't regret it!
Hugs,

Hi Chris
Lots of white - love it.
I think simple cards with special details give off a great statement. Very classy and personal - but be careful .. .. .. you could be on wedding stationery duty if you're not careful!!! LOL!!!
