DDCC #59-Wedding Wishes

There is a wonderful sketch by Wilma over on the Dutch Dare Challenge blog and you should really check it out. Besides the fact the sketch is super fun, great DT samples, you have a chance to win a super cute Bell n Whistles stamp courtesy of Jacqueline just for playing along!

Here is the card I made with the sketch. I 'm not too happy with it, it just seems kind of flat and has no life... I think I needed some patterned paper on here somewhere instead, but I went with solid colors for my sister as these are her wedding colors...I did cut out the cake and pop it up..although I didn't do the middle or the very bottom as I didn't want to make a mess and have to re-do everything!


I used a super cute image that I downloaded from the Doodle Palace (they have a 60% off sale right now) and colored it in a bit, added the pearls and covered the flowers with my stardust glitter pen, I also outlined the cake and swirls with it too, it is much more sparkly IRL.

We are off to have a swim in the brand new outdoor pool in Bassano, the kids are so excited! They are just running on excitement lately...swimming today it the new pool in town, then off to my sisters wedding where they are flower girl and ring bearer, then home for first day of school!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back after the weekend with some fun news...you may remember from a while back what it is, but you may not...stay tuned:-)

  1. I think this card is sweet. I like to use the wedding colors as well. Hope you had fun at the pool. We have a wedding on Friday and Marla's party on Sunday so this is a big weekend for us AND we are all fighting the evil summer cold. UGH!!! Have fun!
