Wedding Party

Lilli of the Valley have such wonderful images for weddings - I had recently bought some of their stamps with two such stamps among the ones I purchased.  This was a second marriage for the bride and groom, being an older couple they decided to get married out of town, in a place where the bride had lived before.  I was going to use the stamp with the guy in the Tall hat and the bride in the long dress.  But when I heard that when they came out of the church after the wedding there was a horse and carriage waiting at the curb to take them on a tour of the city (Montreal) I decided that this was the stamp I was going to use.  Five of us, who had been friends of theirs for years were invited to a dinner they were hosting in town a couple of weeks after the wedding.  I made this card for our group.
We decided to give them a gift of a stay in Niagara on the Lake and a wine tour and their choice of a bottle or two of wine. Thus the wine bottle inside the card an image from Patti Gomez.  The card front was colored with copics and the inside on the backside of the vellum with pencil crayons.  The sentiment was a stamp from Inkadinkado and the butterflies and ribbon were from my stash.



I put pale green cardstock, the same as I used on the front of the card on the top and bottom, and then adhered the one sheet of vellum over them.

Last night we went to the dinner, and even though it was snowing so hard you could hardly see when we drove to the hall, it had stopped by the time we were ready to leave.  There were about 80 people at the dinner and we all had a wonderful meal and there was lovely music from a guitar player and a great vocalist during the meal and for the rest of the evening.  I would say a good time was had by all.
