The GSL Arch Top Reliquary is the
perfect way to display our wedding invitation. We had a very small
get together, just 20 invitees. We were married at home by the mayor
of our little town followed by brunch at a french bistro. It was
such a small affair, it didn't make sense to have invitations
engraved so I was thrilled when I found pretty blank bride cards and
hand wrote our invitation inside. She's been in a box for many
years, it is wonderful to see her every day now!
The reliquary is super simple, just two
pieces. I chose a piece of blue Graphic 45 fauna paper from their
Botanical Tea collection and got out my stash of white flowers.
I gave the base back and overlay pieces
a coat of white acrylic paint, including the edges.
To give the front a bit of shimmer, I
added Martha Stewart glitter paint in Sugar Cube.
Using the front as a guide, I cut the
paper to fit on top of the base, then cut the bride to fit inside.
Using tacky glue, I adhered the paper
onto the base, added the bride and attached the arch frame overlay.
I used craft clips to hold everything in place while the glue dried.
She of course needs a big diamond ring
so I added a flat back rhinestone to her finger and a few flat back
pearls to the buttons of her dress.
The final touches include a few more
pearls, some white flowers and tiny bows.
Thanks for stopping by!
