Here comes the bride

Morning folks... well, I don't know about where you are, but the weather here looks like it's going to be an odd sort of day. I've got a pack of Christening invitations to make a start on today, as well as a few other things to get sorted in the next few days, so I'm going to be busy.. what about you? What have you got planned?

Today though, I want to share this card with you. I didn't want to use a traditional style wedding stamp, although the theme on Passion for Promarkers Challenge was Here comes the Bride.. but I've gone for these little cuties.

I decided to make some of my kitties ginger tabbies, and others are chocolate brown.

The stamp is a Lili of the Valley stamp, and I've coloured using promarkers and added shading using prisma pencils. As you can see, I've added a bit of sparkle to the horseshoe and yes, my kittens have blushy cheeks again. (as I said before... it's the law! lol)

I made the organza flower by sticking pins into a piece of foam and wrapped the ribbon around. I've fastened it all together with a brad, and then added a lovely silver charm. This means it also qualifies for the challenge over at Pink Gem - Flowers and Charms.

I've decorated the inside of the card too - something I love to do, rather than use a plain insert. You can see how it looks above.

Right.. onto my other projects now... so see you soon.

Happy Crafting!
