Back in October of 1999

Back in October of 1999, Steve and I got married! This was way before we got a digital camera! I don't miss my old camera at all!! Anyway, I was inspired by two challenges for this one!  I'm out of my comfort zone for both of them. I created the background by using a 12 x 12 mask.  First, I daubed some silver Adirondack paint on a few of the circles and the center "flower" and then sprayed the whole thing with some Tattered Angels mist.  This took care of the Ella Publishing company Spring Training Day 8 challenge to make your own custom-designed background.  The colors and everything else were part of a challenge (new to me) called Creative Prompts, and their Challenge # 63: Mysterious Glamour was to use this picture as inspiration!  It looks like it fits Lasting Memories latest challenge, too!! (It's all about you.)   So, I'm entering it there also!!! :-)

Wedding Time -- You Made It!

I made this card for my cousin Ted's first marriage. When you consider that he is going to turn 44 the day after his wedding, you can see how it fits the http://www.couturecardstock.com/blog/ to celebrate a milestone!  This card uses their wedding colors! Solid blue is vellum. Print is flocked Anna Griffin. Flower is 8 layers of vellum flowers that I cut with my Sizzix.  There is a Kaiserkraft diamond jewel in the center! Thanks for looking I hope you enjoy it!
