A friend's daughter got married yesterday and she had asked me to do a candle for her to give to her at the bridal shower last month. When I started to make it I had the invitation in hand, and well, the print company I think made a mistake on the color for the Cherry Blossoms, they actually on the invitation were Blush Blossom and not "pink" and the letter for Dani & Jeremiah's names were also in the Blush.. It SO did not show up when I transferred it to tissue paper and then the candle, you couldn't see their names!!
I showed my friend and said well let me see what I can find online for the fonts.. erm I sorta told a story to the printer that my niece like the fonts could they tell me what they were.. I know I know bad, but hey a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!! They told me then I asked for help here and TY TY ladies that helped me find them.. they were buggers to find.. And I found a Cherry Blossom with PINK .. I mean can you imagine.. pink??!?!?! what were they thinking LOL
so I sorta changed her blush to pink romance for the candle. And asked the photographer to send me a high quality photo to use.. which she did (she's friends with the groom .. lol)
I ended up then making 4 candles to give away.. one for the bride & groom, 1 for my friend & her own mom & then the grooms mom..
WHEW glad those are done LOL
And I think these have to be the best ones I've done yet.. even if I do say so & pat myself on my own back ;)
