I Do

Hey! 
There's a new Colour Challenge over at the Ribbon Girls Challenge Blog today which is Ivory.
The timing was perfect for me as I had been commissioned to do a Wedding card this month. Not something I take on often, but I hate to say no!
I always feel under pressure when its a special card for someone else!!!
Anyway here it is and I really hope its what they wanted.  As usual I was scrambling around for letters..Why do you always run out of 'A's and 'S's. Arghhh panic stations or what!
Saying that I loved colouring these two :D 
Papers I used were Riddersholm Huntington Garden
These papers are so beautiful to work with..... trust me you wont be disappointed. The thickness and quality are second to none. Really worth every penny :D
They are definitely top of my fave list of papers. They arent stocked in the UK but if you like the look of them they are available HERE...trust me you will LOVE them and they are so very unique.

and  Im LOVING the new Magnolia DooHickeys Vintage Square..soooo elegant.
Can you believe this Tilda and Edwin are 4 years old now. They are from the Wedding Collection 2010

From the Ribbon Girls Ive used Diamante Heart Charm, Wedding Ring Charm, Prima Resins Angels 3, Ivory Seam Binding, Amanda Ivory Scallop Flat Lace, Lily Flowers small, 10mm Cream Open Rose, 20mm Cream Open Rose and 5mm Ivory Pearl Bead String

Thankyou so much for taking your time to visit me
