I just love being the Growing In Unity Gal for a week!
Thanks for having me :-)
A few weeks ago one of my nieces got married (second marriage for her and she has 4 kiddos). No, I did not take a wedding card with me we were doing good to just get to the wedding before the bride, although she was 20 minutes late, so we probably would have beaten her anyway.
I took a few pictures during the reception after I found out her photographer couldn't be there so I made the hubby run out to the car & grab the camera for me.
We've decided to frame the best shot I got during the reception.
I think they are just adorable!
I think they are just adorable!
I used her wedding colors to create this card for her
I used three different Unity Stamp to create it.
The background is stamps using SMAK January 2015 (ourselves)
then I applied Gelatos
Next I stamped the dress & leaves from Chic Fabulous
and fussy cut it all out, applied UTEE on the dressform
added a bit of tulle for the skirt, flowers & sequins for bling
I found the green heart button & sheer flower in an old Making Memories jar
and tied on a bit of thick yellow string
last I added the Sentiment, a part of the Donna Downey Empowered Words set
Here's a few more shots of the card
Now remember that two lucky commenters will receive 25 random Unity Stamps directly from the company!
actually this is the best shot of the entire day
don't ask, I try to not guess what they are thinking
What a beautiful card and great use of the wedding colors! I love the background texture and that tulle skirt! Wow!
