Wedding card suitcase

I made a wedding card holder for the day out of one of Mr B's very lovely old suitcases.....sigh!

I just loved the aged and battered look it had.....and what a thrill to see some of T!m's new fabric designs includes some material that looks just like the covering! sigh!

The group of tags that spell  out cards were printed with pictures/maps/etc of Firenze with some old fashioned text added for good measure....the large letters were some chipboard  die cuts I have had for years..originally bought from QVC! Covered in gold crackle paint :)

Lots of printed ephemera was used as infill in the pockets in the lid

Some of the Lovely T!m Holtz fabric was used on the base for extra effect

and the tag on the handle was printed from the net and hand written.

Everything will be re-used in due course in scrapbooking the day. :)

Thanks for looking

xoxo Sioux
