For the Bride & Groom ....


Hi there!
What a busy weekend!!  Josh & I volunteered our time Saturday morning for set-up of the ACCESO charity event - he didn't realise how tiring it was to lay dinner places for 265 guests, lol!!!  I was very proud of him and his efforts.  Then yesterday I spent the day with hubby & kids tidying up the back yard, picking weeds, planting trees and generally sprucing things up.  NO inky time whatsoever.
And then this morning I realised that I had a wedding card commission and I hadn't done it - oops!  Thankfully Willow & Oakley were there to rescue me!  Love these images and have to admit to them being inked up for the first time for this card (slap wrist!!).  I coloured with my copics - it's not very clear but on Willow's dress I used E000 for very subtle highlights - it looks lovely IRL.  I used flower soft for her floral headress and added silver adhesive pearls for Oakley's waistcoast!  Don't they look such a handsome bride & groom!
My friend asked for the easel style card which I love doing.  The paprs are from DCWV wedding stack and I matted the main image with pink & black.  A cream ribbon and rose finish off the main panel.

Thanks so much for your visit and apologies for my lack of posting recently.  I'm finding it a little challenging to get into my craft room at the moment - partly because of the weather, partly my mojo has just upped & left! I think I need a good clean out down there too - my desk is desperately overun with paper scraps & general untidiness!
I hope you all enjoy a wonderful day and thanks again for any comments you leave.  Don't forget to sign up for my candy!!
Hugs,
Danielle x

Personally I think your mojo is back...this card is just so special. you have coloured this image PERFECTLY! I just love the easel cards...they make the images just pop somehow! The flower soft on Willow is just brilliant! So darn elegant and so gorgeous. I love how you cut Willow so part of her is off the page! Thank-you for sharing this gorgeous piece of work Danielle!
