To love and be loved

Hello!

It's the 4th Tuesday of July--I can't believe it's already the last week in July!--which means it's time for our inspiration challenge a the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog. This is my DT card.

This is the picture that Linda has chosen for the inspiration challenge.

This picture had me thinking of a square card of lots and lots of white, with red trims, a love theme, an image of a couple and a touch of blue somewhere.

This was just the perfect challenge as I needed to make a wedding card for a co-worker of mine who is getting married in September. Woo-hoo...so now at least I have something to give her.


I've made this an easel card, of course. I so love this style of card--such an easy way to put your card on display.

The adorable couple is a Magnolia image called Loving Bridal Couple from the Wedding Collection 2010. This image/stamp is available at Magnolia-licious on-line store HERE.

Because I was trying to keep this card mostly white, I didn't use any designer paper. So...lots of textures and 3-D stuff!!! I made use of my embossing folders--which I tend to ignore...LOL, punches and dies.

I hope you will join us in our inspiration challenge. Please visit the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog to have a look at the fabulous cards of my DT teamates and for more inspirations. Links to their personal blogs are on my sidebar also. There is also the prize of a $25.00 gift certificate from Magnolia-licious on-line store.


As for me, LOL, I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss - Challenge 90 - Punch or Die
Magnolia Down Under - Challeng #106 - Use Paper Tole or 3D on your card/project
