Aaack, I have to come in the back door...
This week, the destination is my brother and his new wife Ellen. To find out why, come to the tea party here: MMTPT197 ~ MAY 8, 2012 ~ OH AUNTIE HELEN! THERE AIN'T NO TELLIN'! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
Alan an Ellen were married on a pedestrian bridge that crosses the Delaware River. My background isn't the white that was requested, but the sunset that happened shortly after they said "I do." No cookies for me.
Dug out my MS scoring tool and made the lattice edges of the bridge. Masked, sponged and stippled the sunset, then added the suspension cables made from silver thread. Punched tons of MS hydrangea in the teapot colors and melon and mounted over the Waltzingmouse shamrocks. Added silver liquid pearls to each flower and a flag from Alan's favorite baseball team. Inside is an Irish blessing and my handwritten message: Wishing you a long and happy life together. Sorry for the awful picture - will try to take one in daylight... PT - a whole bunch
Thanks so much for looking. I would appreciate it so much if you could find the time to play or send them a card from your stash. Hugz and have a peaceful day.

I'm sure this is going to be such a special card with all the memories it evokes of their special day. I hope they have many more sunsets like that to enjoy. It poured rain on our wedding day - I still remember.
