Mr. & Mrs.

Yesterday Mom asked me if I had the Wedding cards started / finished yet..... Don't need them till October but she wants to be ready....
So when I got home I got cracking...
Here's my first attempt, not bad if I say so myself. Another first for me is making a finished 5 x 7 card too. I tried a few times in the past but there just was to much room for me. But with this card it seam to come together.

For the card base I used Canson Watercolor paper it comes in several size pads this one measures 11 x 15. So I cut it 5 x 14 and scored at 7, perfect. 

Tip: When I went to cut the 15 inch side I just lined up my 5 inch mark on my Guillotine cutter and cut about 3/4 of the way down then turned it around and pushed the cut side up against the cutting edge and lined up the top at 5 and got a perfect cut !! Then cut and inch off the bottom and had my 5 x 14, YEA!!

The Mr. & Mrs. is from Flourishes popped up on a Spellbinders Fancy Tag-3.  Now the set of Wedding rings was from a really old CM set called Wedding Glimpses Done with one and I popped that up too.
I layered the back ground with black first then some Beautiful Pearls paper called Core'dinations this one is Tan Pearl and got it from JoAnns.  This paper comes in beautiful pale colors of pink, blue, and a pure white, can't remember the others but they are all beautiful and know I'll be getting more.

Here's a close up, I was hoping the pearl paper would show but I don't think it is, believe me it's beautiful!

OK, now for the inside, the border was from the same CM Wedding Glimpses Done with one pack and I layered it with some paper I used on the front to tie it in.  The Beautiful Stamps are by Flourishes and the corner is a die by Marianne.  These Marinne dies are so fine and beautiful, I love them all. 
Will that's it for me today. Please let me know what you think, I'm always learning and welcome any suggestions!!
