I was given a fab wedding image by Stitchy called Hitched. I coloured the cute couple with Promarkers and used one of my new Nestabilities dies to cut out the design. For the layout I used the latest Deconstructed Sketch. I used a pretty paper from Dovecraft for the background adding some ink around the edge to define it as it got lost in the cream background. I used a red lace trim that I have had for ages to pull out the colour of the roses.

I was struggling to find a sentiment and remembered some epoxy stickers I bought YEARS ago and have never opened YAY for starting to use stash up!! I mounted the sticker on a scrap of card, added a faux stitching border and cut around that. I think the border emphasises the writing and am pleased with how it turned out. I added a punched heart courtesy of Martha Stewart, the most expensive punch I own (because it came from Hobbycraft) but I wanted it so much and had Christmas vouchers to spend so it wasn't too bad :)

I am looking forward to seeing the cards that are entered into this challenge and hope to see lots of entries from you.
