Weddings and Bikes...

Hey!

Can I get a woot, woot, for the Bank Holiday Weekend over here in the UK?! Yay! So happy that I'll have company on Monday now my guy (and friends) are off work :D

So my inky fingers from the last post...well, the raspberry alcohol ink did come off my fingers after much scrubbing! No need to go and find a shocking pink dress to divert the attention from my fingers for the wedding we attended on Friday LOL! I'll share a pic (or two) of that fabulous day when my friend gets around to uploading the pics; I did bring a camera but as I was behind it all the time, the few pictures that have me and my guy on were taken by other people!

Today I'm sharing a card that I'm going to confess I'm sooooooooooooooo happy with that it made me want to jump up and down and dance! I didn't really want to give it away at first, but once I saw the faces of the Bride and Groom light up when they opened the envie, I was sure I'd done the right thing! And before you think, bike? wedding? I'll tell ya that the groom is huge fan of cycling:

I was impressed that I managed to use The Whole Cycle stamp set for a wedding card and still kinda keep it lovey-dovey for the bride! The flourish is supposed to represent the old tradition of tying cans to a wedding car, only I opted for the hearts that scattered my desk after using the Martha Stewart Border Punch (thanks, Diva!) Pssst!! Like the bike stamp? You could win it if you enter this week's CASE study!

Another shot to show that I stamped on super pearlescent card to add to the 'weddingy' feeling:

And just one more shot to show how blinged up and sparkly that bike is! Can't imagine the groom would want a bike like this, but man, wouldn't you spot him in a race/time trial if he did LOL!


So pearlescent card, a few touches of bling, satin ribbon and voila! A wedding card! I even love the sentiment - I mean marriage is a journey, right?! And both Chris and I wished them a very happy one and even gave them some Luck O' the Irish with some Irish Money (it's still legal tender over here!)

Catch ya later!
