Evening Folks
Hope you are all well. Off out tonight to some friends for a bit of a chat and maybe a drink or two. Just wanted to share this card with you before I go out. I was asked to do this card for a friend of mine to give to her daughter when she gets married at the weekend. My brief was simple, 'you have free rein to do whatever you like'. So, this is what I did. I am afraid the photo does not really do it justice as it is quite dark and gloomy here. But it is nice and white in real life.
I bought this Marianne Design stamp (Don and Daisy) to use as I thought it was just so cute and suited the couple perfectly. I coloured it with distress inks. The image was then matted onto black card and mulberry paper? think that's what it's called lol. I then punched out lots and lots and lots of small flowers, stuck them around the image to make a frame and added a small gem to the centre of each flower. The inspiration for the frame came from a card that I saw on Sue Wilson's blog (very talented lady who does a lot of work with Spellbinders on C&C). She had used a die that left little flower shapes behind. Mine wasn't a die but liked the idea of creating a frame with little flowers. Think it looks just fine. I finished the card with some lace, vintage ribbon, WOC flower and more gems. Also added some sentiments and distressed all the edges with distress ink.
Here is a closer picture of the image.
Hopefully you can see that I didn't do too much colouring and I did add glamour dust to the veil for that extra bit of sparkle.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Hi Mags,
I have just found your blog via Sue Wilson and saw this lovely card that you did with the flowers.
It is delightful and I think Sue must love it especially as it was inspired by her 'For the Bride and Groom' card (3/12/2011).
I love the addition of the guipere lace and little rose with pins; those are my kind of embellishments!!! I will try to pop by more often and see your latest creations and fab inspiration.
All the best Linda
