Anniversary

Our dear friends are celebrating their anniversary today and as usual I made a card for them.
I wanted to do something a little different.  I started with one of my favourite stamps – a vintage style bride and groom.



I began by adding colour to the stamped image using my lovely Copic markers.  I then punched lots of tiny, tiny flowers and from these I made the groom’s buttonhole and the bride’s bouquet and headdress.  I used the left over flowers for the background (in the style of confetti).
The image was then trimmed, the corners rounded and I punched two holes for the ribbon.  Colour was added to the edges of the image with a Copic marker.  I threaded the ribbon and before tying the bow, stuck the completed image to a pale blue card blank.  I then tied the bow, trimmed the ends and the card was complete.
