The wedding cake image is a RAK from Peggy (MarilynPrestonn)......thank you tons, my friend!!!! I just LOVE this sweet image! I colored the roses and leaves with Prismacolored pencils and used white liquid pearls for piping around the cake layers. I added Diamond Stickles to her dress, around the nestie die cut and around the nestie sentiment die cut. On the right side of the card, I used the same MS lace punch as Linda did on her card. I placed Diamond Stickles dots at the scallop intervals. I used a wide satin white ribbon and a sheer white polka dotted ribbon. I just bought these marvelous pearl clusters at Michael's....aren't they yummy? The CB background is the same as Linda used also. I think that covers it.
This is for my future DIL's bridal shower. Her colors are red and latte.
What do you think?

What do I think? where to begin...I think it's fabulous, Lesley, that you take the time to craft a very special card for your future DIL. That makes a huge statement about how you feel about her. She's one fortunate bride to be. On to the card: I think Peggy's image is just perfect. Love everything you've added to the image. The ribbon finishes it off perfectly. So there you have, sweet girl.

FIRST, Marleygo, I can't believe you have a future DIL - are you KIDDING me ???
Second, this is an exquisite shower card -she is going to be so thrilled!!!! Your attention to every little detail, from the embossed BG, to the lace border, to the NESTIE that you popped up that fabulous image on (sigh, you girls are SO enabling!) the pearl clusters spaced out on the ribbon, AND...
you didn't forget the bling with the diamond stickles - WOWZA!! You have taken your cues perfectly from Linda's card !! She will be pleased as punch with what you have done here! GREAT JOB - I see wearing the crown last week must have given you "future enlightenment" this is the Bomb!
