Gettin' Hitched!......

I have been making an awful lot of wedding cards just lately, either for commissions or personal use.
I made this one, for no particular reason other than that I liked the image. I think that it would be suitable for either a church wedding, registry office or civil ceremony in a grand house!
I used an 8" scalloped card base and added an embossed and matted panel to the front of the card. Before adhering it to the card I wrapped pink satin ribbon threaded through a gemstone buckle around the bottom of the panel.
The funky couple were cut from plain white card coloured with a Blush Promarker for the skin, then the layers (dress and tux) were cut from white and black pearlised cardstock. The bride's dress was embossed, and I added teeny sequin flowers to her headband. I also gave her a pearl necklace and bracelet. The bouquet was enhanced with punched flowers, created with a Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch. The couple were adhered to the card with foam pads.
'Gettin' Hitched' was cut from black pearlised cardstock and adhered flat. A smattering of pearls completes the card.
