Hello,
I had a rough day at work yesterday and did not do anything after so...today I have done the WT (thanks Lisa) on the sketch (thanks Cathy). I went paper hunting this morning for papers long forgotten/not used in years. I pulled out not only these but some silvers and golds (for another time) just so that I would not forget them.
I used a wedding die that I found on sake/clearance and bought then wondered why I bought it...here it is. I included a photo of the doors closed to show how pretty the die is. I added some white florals to the arbor? and Stickled them. The arbor and doorway are cut from whitish shimmer paper.I made an inside from white smooth to stamp on with the Chablis powder. The step is one of the elements of the sketch and to finish the sketch I added the Forever and Always (ODBD) to the pennant at the top. I lastly added the sheer white with gold trim ribbon to the top of the bells.
Thanks for looking!

Your treasure hunting paid off. What beautiful papers, die-cuts, stamps and embellishments. Despite a rough "yesterday", you're having a wonderfully creative "today"! I know creating something always helps me and seems to keep me balanced. Your wedding card is stunning! Love the die with the lattice doors that open/close. This one is a true keepsake. Very nicely done! TFS

Oh my gosh, Robin, this is gorgeous. I can see why you grabbed that die without having any plans for it. The flocked background paper is beautiful too. Some bride will treasure this.

OMG, Robin, WOW!!! Your card is exquisitely done, love the altar scene and that you photographed it twice so we could see the die closed, too! Your paper is gorgeous and, wow, the flowers stunning! You totally rocked both these challenges, girl!!
