Congratulations

Hello-

Today's card is very special.

I made it for my Dad and his new Bride to celebrate their wedding.  With the world situation being what it is, we won't be there in person, but thanks to his bride Dianne, we'll be viewing the ceremony via the web.


This stamp comes from my bin of new stuff, and is from Stampin Up. The wedding colors are cream and purple.  I did my best to match. The cake was stamped and colored with copics, then fussy cut. Pearls were added to the flower centers and some Spectrum clear glitter marker over the blooms.  The cake was mounted on top of an embossed panel.  The sentiment was heat embossed on vellum and added at an angle to accentuate the line of the cake top and flowers.



Hubs and I dressed in our wedding finery to "attend" the wedding. 



So Congratulations to Dennis and Dianne,  may your happiness and love today grow ever on.

Thanks for visiting.

Your beautiful wedding cake looks good enough to eat, Cat!! It's a gorgeous design with amazing background texture! And well done continuing to whittle down your NBUS pile! You and Hubs look very fetching in your wedding finery! I join you in wishing Dennis and Dianne all the best for a long and happy - and healthy - union! Take care and keep safe! Hugs, Darnell

That's a beautiful card! How cool that you could be together virtually! Hey did you decide to visit Paris while you were all decked out in your Sunday best? Or was that part of the Virtual background? We find our amusement in the little things these days, huh?

I knew this was one of your special cards at the very first glance. everything about it is perfect, but I particularly love that embossed background and lovely purple and green and what clever placement of the sentiment too. I do hope the wedding went/goes well and you get to feel a part of the proceedings xx

Lovely, lovely card Cat! Have to chuckle at the stamp set you used because when the SAB catalog came out this was my least favorite stamp set but ordered it anyway and I have used it more times than I can count now...for weddings and birthday cards!! Great picture of you and the hubs too...love the background!! :0)

Jean said...

Lovely card and how fun that you can still be part of the ceremony!

Leslie Miller said...

That's a beautiful card, Cat, and I'm glad I finally made it over here to see it bigger than at IG and to read your story. Weird times that you had to attend remotely, but you do look wonderful in your wedding finery. What is that behind you?
