Gettin' Hitched!

Well, hello it's a sunny Saturday where I am, so it's a good time to share this sunny card with all its touches of yellow and crisp white. Not the traditional route for a wedding card, but I've seen many others getting more and more creative and less formal with them, so it's only a card. What can it hurt? :-) This one is for my nephew and his bride-to-be and I think they will both like it.

I used the current Cheerful sketch faithfully. No messing with it in PSE this time, just added measurements. I wanted to play in Beccy's Place's monthly challenge. (she requires you use one of her images + there is always an optional twist, this time it's Tic-Tac-Toe), so I picked out this cute one called Over the Garden Gate from my files to print and colored with my Promarkers. I used collection papers so everything would coordinate. 

SUPPLIES:
Bazzill and Neenah card stocks
Patterned Papers/card stock: My Minds Eye Dilly Dally, Fancy Pants It's the Little Things, Colorbok Carnival
Stamps: Beccy's Place Digital, Our Craft Lounge, Papertrey Ink, Avery Elle, Technique Tuesday, EK Success
Inks: Versafine Clair, Promarkers (for image coloring); Signo Uniball white gel pen
Dies: Spellbinders Labels 10, Lacey Squares, Circle Contempo and Floral Motif Doilies; Avery Elle Dotted Elle-ments
Misc. from Stash: ring die cut from old calendar, paper doilies, paper flowers, brads, twine & jute string; embossing powder, distressing tool, SU label punch

The inside and the back of my card: I've ordered a registry gift card mailed to me to include with the card. Once I receive it, I'll create an envelope for it to attach to the inside left. For the back, I played around with combining 2 signature stamps, and I really like what I came up with so if I can get that industrious you might see it again, lol. I'm always getting into decorating the back the same old way so I like to shake it up from time to time. :-)
