Blooming Wedded Bliss

I'm back! Well, our little vacation was relaxing. It's fun to play tourist on your own island every once and awhile. Today's card is one that I made for our friend Tony who got married last Sunday. I stamped the dress image from the Blooming with Happiness set in black StazOn on whisper white CS. Then I watercolored it in lavender lace and bashful blue and added crystal stickles when it was dry. I chalked the edges of a piece of whisper white with the same colors that I used in the watercolors, matted it on a piece of lavender lace and distressed the edge. I cut out the image and popped it on the matted piece with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the same set. I stamped it in pretty in pink and wasn't happy, so I restamped it with lavender lace creating a shadow effect. The boarder was made using the eyelet lace boarder punch from fiskars. To finish it off I sponged the edges with pretty in pink craft ink and cut two pieces of ribbon and tied it in a knot. Here's a close up of the dress so that you can see the watercoloring and the glitz of the stickles.
Well, that's it for tonight. I have a few more posts lined up for you in the next few days, so stay tuned. Till then...keep smiling and happy stamping!

Jus' Me,
