It’s wedding day for C.J. and Candace! (You might remember photos from Candace’s shower a few weeks ago.)
I couldn’t wait to make a special card to celebrate these two cute lovebirds. They are a Perfect Pair.
My youngest son is a groomsman in the wedding, and we are looking forward to celebrating this special day. Nick and C.J. were “roomers” in college and have remained good friends.
Candace is a country girl at heart and their wedding has a rustic theme, so I loved using some leftover burlap ribbon and lace from Jake and Colleen’s (my oldest son and daughter-in-law’s) wedding two years ago for this special card.
I had recently seen Dawn at Petals. Paper. SimpleThymes make a twine wreath and loved the look. Thanks for the great idea to CAS Dawn! (You’ll be seeing another card next Sunday for The Paper Players Challenge #262 using this twine wreath too on a completely different card).
I used the StampinUp Bird Punch for the leaves and love birds and the Hello Life Stamp Set to heat emboss the “love” sentiment in gold.
Looking forward to celebrating love today!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
This may be the most beautiful card I’ve ever seen. You could sell a boatload of these at your shop. Gorgeous, Jodi! Enjoy the wedding. Congratulations to the happy couple.
