A simple wedding invite

Good evening folks,

Thanks very much for dropping by.  I am right in thinking it's May am I?  Apparently it hailed here today, I tend not to notice when I am at work, but Simon told me!

I have been getting lots of exciting parcels recently - I have decided to have a proper go at Zentangle and have bought the most lovely paper to work on (I have a bit of a thing about card and paper, I just love those expensive artist's pads - not that my art is anywhere near good enough to do it justice!)
More of that to follow when I have had some practice.

My card today is a very simple wedding design, I like wedding cards to be simple, plus if you have to make loads, you don't want it to be taking too long!

This is one I did using the next set of Wee Folk stamps The wedding collections, very useful sets  to have, not only for weddings, but also anniversaries and occasions in general.

I always use lovely card for wedding stationery,This time hammered card, one of my favourite textured cards.
I die cut all the squares for the mats and also the little oval - I stamped the image first, then die cut (much easier to get the image central that way!)
I used a purple archival ink for the stamping and blended a little round the edge of the oval.
I was struggling to find something to go behind the image, then it occurred to me that I had got a serrated edge to my square, so I could use some lovely matching thread I've had for ages! I even had exactly the right colour! I stuck it on the back and wound it round the card, then stuck my stamped couple over the top.
Hope you like it
