I needed a wedding card for a missionary friend who retired after 27 years and promptly found a fella and got married for the first time--a dream that was put on hold and now is realized!! Our FS this week is Loll Thompson and her gallery is chock full of caseable beauties. This is the one that inspired my wedding card: Happy Mother's Day Dear Marie - F4A113 by Loll Thompson at Splitcoaststampers. I kept the layout the same but changed to a monochromatic background for wedding elegance.

Gorgeous layered wreath with beautiful sprays of flowers. Love the white on white background with the embossing and lace to add lots of texture. Fabulous card!

How special is this story! Wow! Was she patient and faithful or what? Touches my heart. This is absolutely gorgeous Michelle - really! I am sure it will be treasured for a long time.
You know, people are not patient when it comes to love and I think that is half the problem these days. I know I wasn't when I was younger and I made some serious mistakes that the Lord had to help me out of. Love can find people any where and any time. My Mother found love with my Step Dad at age 73! She is seriously in love. It is wonderful.
Thanks for sharing this beauty - Hugz!!!

Oh Michele, this card is gorgeous! The fabulous wreath against that crisp white embossed background is stunning! I love the roses and little flowers as well as the pretty lace.
