Happily Ever After

The challenge for this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments is all about weddings.  It's that time of year for June brides, so get your stamps out and stamp up a wedding sentiment.  Then take a picture of your card or project and post it on Hand Stamped Sentiments #117 theme challenge.

For my card today I decided to take a storybook approach.  Why?  Because I pulled out the Elegant Trio Decor Stencils, which are being retired at the end of this month, and it made me think of the fairytale greeting from the stamp set Full of Life.  My mind kind of went Cinderella on me.  I had the card finished and then decided to really enhance the fairytale feel by adding the Pennant Punch banner.  I think it adds to the "kingdom" feel of my whimsical wedding card.  The whimsy juxtaposed with the clean lines, pleated ribbon, and the rhinestone bling give the card a sense of sophistication.
