Our daughter's closest friend and room-mate is getting married at the end of the month. I loved this Sparkly Heart Garden card in kittie747's gallery (I think I must have half her gallery in my favourites) and thought it would be perfect for a wedding card. Of course that meant I had to buy the wonderful little Double Hearts Punch Around the Page set (Martha Stewart). Cruising the gallery can really be hard on the credit card...
The white portions of the card are from a wonderful pearlescent cardstock pack I found at Joann's when we were in Arizona last November. My daughter designed the wedding invitations for her friend so I had her send me the files she used - I printed one of the files (a purple floral design) onto matte photo paper and used that for the rest of the layers. The stamps on the inside right are by Verve. The verse on the inside left is computer generated and reads as follows:
God gave you each other
so you'd have a hand to hold,
a friend to love and a
deep-down happiness to share.
May the presence of God's love
in your lives continue to shine
beautifully in your love
for one another.
I was pleased at how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by.
PT: 6 different punches; 3 nesties; over 60 punches in all.

60 punches....wowie-but oh so worth it! This came out amazing. What a beautiful card. I just love the heart floral in the window. You are going to have to eat your wheaties to keep your strength up to punch that many punches girlfriend. This is a masterpiece. A real keepsake card for the wedding couple to be enjoyed for many years to come.
