happily ever after

This is a card I made for my friend's wedding. Her bridesmaid dresses are sage green so you could personalize this to whatever color you would like. You could also color in the castle, but this stamp was too beautiful on its own for me to want to color it. Here are the materials I used:

  • castle stamp
  • knight and princess stamp by Elzybells Art Stamps
  • Scribbles cutting plate by taylored expressions
  • momento ink- tuxedo black
  • scalloped and straight edged rectangle diecuts
  • together forever stamp set by my favorite things
  • copic markers- C2, C3, C4, E00, E51, E57, R0000, R00, G43
  • wink of stella- clear

These stamps are pretty old, but I'm sure you could find something that works!
