Did you watch the Royal Wedding? (If you haven't there's just a bit of a spoiler alert here in this paragraph) Prince William & Kate Middleton are now the new Duke & Duchess of Cambridge! I didn't get up at 3am to watch, but I did set my DVR. I'll have to play back later to watch their vows, as I came in when they were coming down the aisle. But after seeing their "double" kiss on the balcony at Buckingham Palace (the sweetest thing!) I just wanted to post my Congratulations to the Royally Happy Couple! I remember watching Prince Charles & Princess Diana's wedding, but this one has to be my favorite so far...LOL.
Anyway--I made this card a while back (long while back), but I thought you'd be interested to know that I used a gold foil chocolate candy wrapper for the mat, which I used a border punch on. The flowered overlay is from some beautiful wrapping paper that I just loved, and the sentiment is a sticker. But isn't this sentiment just Perfect for this new married couple?! Which, of course, is why I chose this card to highlight today, even though it's not as "weddingish" (yeah, I know...not really a word). =) I cut two corner punches from the lavender cardbase and added a touch of dark purple ink to the cut out corners to finish it off.
The camera I used when I first made the card and took the photo wasn't that great, so I apologize the coloring is not better.
Thanks for stopping by today -- keep an eye out this weekend for some blog candy, as I'll be celebrating my one year Blogaversary! =)

A true romantic you are! Very lovely card in honor of the Royal couple! It was such a beautiful wedding. Ever since my DH heard that Prince Charles has never had to put toothpaste on his own toothbrush, I have been hearing about that! I plan to put it on his TB tonight as a joke! Have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card. Thanks for your emal today too, you r so sweet. take care, gerri
ReplyDeleteThat purple scripted paper is very old...think its from a Somerset Studio mag. My new motto (starting last yr) is glue that paper, cut that ribbon and burn that candle!Im really trying to use all the things I have saved over the years. (Dont get me wrong there are still some very very special things that I have saved....LOL)gerri
