I just had to CASE another of "Queen for the Day" Cathleen's beautiful cards. I fell in love with her Winter White Wedding the moment I saw it, and added it to my favorites, thinking that I would CASE it the next time I needed a wedding card.
I changed the orientation and the border punch, used birds instead of butterflies and left off the sentiment. In hindsight, I wish I had left off the pearls too... they give the birds a rather wild-eyed look.

Wild-eyed, eyes glazed over... whatever the look, this card is absolutely awesome (and I quite like the pearly eyes). Beautiful CASE from a beautiful gallery. Love your piercing and the tone-on-tone look. Wonderful creation!

Hilda, you are back! And with a bang! This is gorgeousness at it's best, my friend! Beautifully done all the way around.
I love your love birds so nestled amongst that beautiful ribbon. And your paper piercing is enviable. Such a wonderful creation and so beautifully crafted! Thanks for playing again today and for bringing this stunning creation to the gallery! Cathleen will surely be pleased that you not only honored her twice, but brought such beauties to her gallery!

Hilda, your work is stunningly beautiful! This is that kind of card you have to study to take it all in! OMGosh, I love this case. Your details are remarkable! Those love birds are gorgeous in white, and with your paper piecing they just embrace your card. Totally gorgeous! TFS!
