Wedding and A Challenge....

or two.  My daughter and her boyfriend are attending the first wedding of people that they went to high school with.  They and this couple have known each other all through high school and then continued to keep in touch all through college.  It has been fun to see as Bess and her friends all have attended different colleges all over the place yet they still have remained good friends....friends who work hard to keep up with each other.  Anyways, Bess and Tyler are both coming to town on Friday for the wedding and, of course, I was eager to make a wedding card!  I tried the Vera's View Challenge on Lily Pad Blog earlier today and the card I made gave me an idea for a wedding card.  I had hoped to make an all white card, using all white papers and roses but unfortunately I didn't have quite enough white roses left and didn't want to run out to the store to get more.  So, I made "do" and went with a different color scheme.  Actually, I was kinda grooving on the pinks that I had in my stash and basically, I had enough bits and pieces of paper, roses, etc...to create a card with supplies I have used over the last two weeks.  Win!  So, I am going to enter this in a few challenges too....first up is the City Crafter Challenge Blog Week #110 A Rose is A Rose.  Basically, somewhere on our card's we need to have a rose featured in some way.  Here is their lovely rose inspiration!  For me, what was inspiring was how the roses in this photo are "bunched" together....as though in a bouquet.

The next challenge that I am entering in is the Moxie Fab World's Card Creations Challenge Week.  This particular card is for The Doilies and Lace Challenge.  I wasn't too sure if it was just doilies or lace so I ended up adding both to my card.  This type of card is a huuuuuuuggggggeeee stretch for me.  But, ultimately I think I am liking it rather alot!  It's good to try something different and out of the box I am thinking!

And, here is my card!  Very lovey, dovey girly but just fine (I think) for a young wedding card!

All of my die are spellbinders and the doily and roses are stuff I got ages ago from Michael's when they were closing the store in my area.  I def will look at another Michael's when I am near one as I really like using these small and dainty flowers.  The sentiment is Hero Arts and I cannot find the name of the sentiment sheet.  Thanks for stopping back today!

Be well,

Sheila
