Summer Wedding

Hello all and I hope that the sun is shining wherever you are!  It's not here unfortunately - but the weathermen keep telling us that there's some hot, sunny weather on the way so I'm keeping everything crossed!  Especially as it's my daughter's 20th birthday on Saturday - and my son breaks up from school for his summer holidays next Wednesday!  And thank you for all your lovely comments - and yes, I did have a very nice lunch with my friend yesterday lol!

My daughter was invited to a wedding which was a few days ago - and the first one of her friends to get married (only 20 years old - seems very young!).  My daughter and about 6 other girls were all very good friends at school and have stayed in touch even though they've all gone separate ways with universities, jobs, etc. And this was one of the group getting married. Her new husband is Canadian and she'll be moving out there with him in a couple of weeks, so huge changes all round. My daughter said it was a wonderful service, very moving, and a lovely reception - even if it all seemed a bit surreal that it was actually one of her friends lol!  And, of course, yours truly was asked if I could make a wedding card.  And I jumped at the chance!  It's not often I have cause to make one (although that will probably change as the offspring grow up!) but it's lovely to make cards for especially happy occasions like weddings and births!

So it was a great opportunity to use this gorgeous stamp from LOTV - I think they're just the cutest couple!  I've coloured the image with copics and promarkers

The backing papers are from First Edition (and stash). The flowers are from WOC and the ribbon and charm are from (the now sadly closed) pretty little ribbon shop. I've added pearl string from stash and Memory Box die cut 'precious hearts'.  The sentiment is also from LOTV and I've used Spellbinders floral oval dies for the image and sentiment. 

and the inside is decorated to match.  Sadly, I forgot to take a pic of the decorated card box ! 

So definitely not a CAS creation! But I had great fun making it! 

Back soon,
