I “think” this stamp set was inked once by me but I never did make a card. Then a dear friend Ellen borrowed it and made some beautiful wedding cards that were inspiring. Now that the set has hit the retirement list and will no longer be available after July 1st, I thought I should make at least one card. Here is my take on To Have and To Hold.
I embossed the white with white embossing powder and the swirls from the set. Cardstock is Black, Rose Red, Whisper White. Flowers are Rose Red. I used some of the hot fix crystals (fom Swarovski) for the hair and a few flowers). The top of the dress is a light bashful blue, the suit is black and the bowtie is Bashful Blue,
I stamped the sentiment inside the frame then cut out the frame and popped it up with dimensionals.
The end is near – since last November I have been having work done in my upstairs bathroom. Keep in mind – it is me picking out stuff and a local Handyman doing the work. However Handyman Dan (yes that is his name) is a very busy guy. He is booked up months in advance. Well Wednesday he came over and installed the cabinet and light fixture, and removed the mirror that was glued to the wall – and yes he repaired the wall. Yesterday I painted the room. On Monday the countertop people are coming in to measure. Once that is made and installed, I will be able to put all the junk back into the bathroom. It is amazing – for the smallest area in the house we sure do gather a lot of “stuff”. It is all piled up in a spare bedroom but I can’t wait til it is done and I can get the house put back together. That is going to be the last project for a while.
Have a good one.

Nice wedding card! It’s fun to get all sentimental when the retired list comes out.
This is so pretty! I don’t have this set…I love it and debated 1,000 times about getting it. **sigh** The new color bundle won in the battle! LOL
Beautiful!
What a gorgeous card!! I love the colors you chose, and your coloring is terrific! I hope making the card was relaxing for you while the renovations were happening – I get a little crazy wanting to get everything cleaned up (if only I had remodeling done all the time, my house would be immaculate :). What color did you paint the bathroom?
Beautiful card. WOW, sounds like you are busy, busy. It will be wonderful when it’s all finished and you are enjoying the completed project. This is an adorable card, so I’m glad you squeezed it in with all the other projects you had going.
Oh I am glad you got this set out… it makes such a pretty wedding card! Love the embossing! I totally know what you mean about having the house upside down while doing renovations… I’m sure you’re sooo ready to be back to normal! Enjoy it!!!
