Over the Christmas holidays we had 2 family engagements so I made this easel card for my niece and her fiance to celebrate the strart of a New life together :-)

I used my lovely ' I Give You My Heart' stamp. Coloured with Copics and Prismacolor pencils ,, I love the effect this had on the flowers ,,, they look almost velvety !! The papers are Basic Grey , I used SU card for layering and a Martha Stewart Heart border punch. the sentiment from a Simon Says Stamp exclusives set and the ribbon and flowers were in my drawer. I also added loads of Star Dust stickles and a few Robins Nest Dew Drops to finish :-)



From here you need to go to the fabulously talented Mary's Blog to see her wonderful creation ! :-) Happy Hopping and hope you have fun !
