First Dance

I had a bit of a problem with this card, I used the Sketch Saturday sketch for this week using the fabulous Wedding image from Mo Manning. I got everything stuck down and then I tried to put flowers on the card.
Well I must of been moving flowers for ages before I finally gave up.
The Heart embossing folder came out of a set which worked out quite expensive cos I've only ever used the folder but it as come in handy so many times. If you carefully line up the hearts you can use it twice to make a square mat like the swiss dots. The papers are First Edition Summer Breeze, Hero Arts sentiment and the cuttlebug corner die.
I so wish the flowers would've of worked just feels its missing something and yes I even tried swirls too. Guess I'm so hard to please.

Debby, your card is simply gorgeous. The image looks so pretty paper pieced. Amazing how much time we waste faufing about with flowers sometimes, do the same. Looks perfect without them! Carolxx

It's such an elegant card Debby, I don't mis the flowers, the lace is besides the beautiful colored stamp a real eyecatcher, I think putting on flowers would be to much!

Oh my...when I first saw this sketch I just hated it (not fond of catywampus matting really) but look at what you've done with it. Guess I must change my mind because your card is gorgeous! Love the CB embossing and the lace and that beautiful Mo image so perfectly colored.
