LOVE IS THE MESSAGE

Hi Everyone

Awwww..... wasn't the wedding wonderful!!!

I don't think it matters if you are a fan of the Royal Family or not I can't image anyone not being touched by the lovely couple today. 

How beautiful and elegant the bride looked and how handsome the groom  .. .. and both clearly very much in love. 

I did think the ring wasn't going to go on Kate's finger though!!  It looked a bit of a tight squeeze!! and there were some very strange hats to be seen .. .. but  I loved watching .. .. starting around 10.00am and finishing once the couple had their two kisses and disappeared for their wedding breakfast.  I wonder what they had to eat and what song they chose for their first dance?

They have made me feel "super soppy" today (as opposed to my normal level of soppiness LOL!!).

So to celebrate the love that is in the air today I just had to make a romantic card and it just happens to fit nicely into the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is "Happily Ever After".

The challenge closes at midnight tonight so I am just in time!! 

Here is my creation:







This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4023K" Love is the Message
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
Martha Stewart Punch:  Doily Lace
Adirondack "Lights" Pink Sherbet for distressing around the image
Crystal Stickles
Self Adhesive Pearls
Small white rosebuds coloured with ProMarker Pens
Ribbons from the Stash Box

So that is me for today.

Must get linked up before I am too late!!!!

Love

    Hi Jules, very beautiful card hun. Love the image and very pretty bouquet. Glad you had a lovely day watching the wedding, agree about the daft hats, how did they stay on? silicone glue, maybe? Have a great evening.

    Yes, it was such a beautiful day. I couldn't help thinking of Diana and how proud she would have been. I must admit I did shed a tear or two. They really are a lovely couple. Your card is beautiful Jules and really captures the feeling of love and romance. xxx
