A Wedding Card


This weekend both my children participated in a free Lacross camp at Skidmore college. We wanted to give them the opportunity to check it out and see if it was a sport that they may want to join. It looks like a lot of hard work but fun. Anyway(you are probably wondering where I am going with this?), they had a great time and since they worked so hard we drove into downtown Saratoga Springs and took them to Ben and Jerry's! Boy, were they excited! We took a walk in the park by the Casino since they wanted to check out the famous Spit and Spat sculptures that are a must see and just so beautiful in the park. Well, on our way we not only saw 1 bride but 3 all together! What a beautiful day they had for a wedding and what a special time. We watched with anticipated breath as the bride was escorted out of the Casino by her dad and walked through the park to meet her future husband and greet all her guests, even the kids watched with excitement!!

In my excitement and reminiscing, I went home to create a beautiful wedding card! My base is Basic Black, my inside is Whisper White heat embossed with iridescent ice powder. I then found a template online to cut out my bride and groom's pieces. I heat embossed my bride's dress, added some retired Pretty in Pink ribbon, used my Bird Punch for the flower bundle, a retired flower punch(I cut out about 11 or 12 of them, put them together with hot glue, added a few glue dots to hold it together and popped it up with dimensionals). I added my bride and groom with dimentionals to the front but placed the bride so she I over the flap. I also stamped my Congratulations with my new Memento Ink(did I tell you how much I LOVE my new Memento Ink??!) I hope you like it...it was fun to make, I found my inspiration  and template in Lynn Pratt's blog found here. I hope you like it. 
Thank you for stopping in.
