I cannot remember how many versions of this card I made, I think this is the 3rd! 🙂 Requested by a friend, I decided to up the cutesy factor in this and make it as girly as possible ~

For those of you not familiar with the Chinese language, the 4 Chinese characters in the title roughly translates to “a hundred years of bliss”. This is a Chinese congratulatory phrase which is commonly used to wish newly married couples. This morning I received an email from a regular customer who needed a card for a wedding he is attending this Saturday. Hmm, I know someone else who is getting married this Saturday too.. is it an auspicious day? Anyway that meant I had to do a card today! His request was to make a very “Chinese” wedding card.
I remember making a wedding card with a similar theme before. Then, I had tried to make everything really Chinesey, and it ended up looking a tad too conservative. This time I thought I will use the same kind of traditional couple cut-out but incorporate more youthful elements like a poppish looking heart motif paper , a swiss-dot embossed cardstock and some girly looking lace. The words 百年好合 on yellow circles line the side of the card in a subtle fashion.On the matching red envelope, the traditional “double happiness” ribbon ties in with the traditional theme.

A wedding card! I really love doing wedding cards because they usually involve very simple colors like white, pink or blue. A regular customer asked me for a wedding card for her good friend. She shared with me her initial idea: the concept that marriage is like cake, you need effort and a good mix of ingredients (love) to make one. Initially I tried to think along the lines of making a “recipe” card but it was hard to show ingredients becoming a cake and I had this feeling the end product would turn out cutesy and colorful instead of elegant and pure. Eventually, I decided to go the traditional way and make a wedding cake instead.
The flowers make up a white and silver palette, while the pearls complement the flowers by adding small accents along the way. I stuck every single piece of pearl embellishment using tweezers and glue! As a final touch, I linked the word “LOVE” to the string of pearls to subtly signify that love is an essential ingredient needed to make this wedding cake. Sweet!
