For the Newlyweds--A Paper Players Challenge

In an effort to keep the mojo flowing, I'm continuing to play along with The Paper Players. 

This week's challenge was a theme from Laurie:

I had to give this challenge quite a bit of thought. I'll be honest, Brien and I aren't the most romatical of couples so I wouldn't create a really fancy card for him. And, I'm fresh out of weddings to attend. That said, It never hurts to have a card in your stash for those "just in case" emergencies. In my building at school, you never know when you might need a shower card, and to be honest, in the middle of the year, I don't have as much time to craft as I would like. 

I thought about the next wedding we have coming up in the building (in October if Covid behaves!). The sweet bride is a modern young woman with elegant yet simple taste. 

I pulled out my embossing folders to see if anything inspired me (since I have NO stamps that did so) and lo and behold, there was this gorgeous paisley swirly one. :o) 

Because I'm not sure what her "colors" are, I went with my favorite, the lovely Smoky Slate. However, it still didn't "pop" with me like I wanted it to so I pulled out my pearls and starting putting them in all the holes. (Anyone else find their "pokey tool" is a godsend when placing bling?)

The pearls were the thing! I finished it off with the beautiful scripted "For the Newlyweds" from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamped in the lower right corner. 

Perfect! :o) 

I don't know if we'll be together to celebrate this beautiful couple, but I do know how USPS works so I'll get this card to Miss Madison one way or another. ;o)
