Just Because ......... 60 years ago the couple in the photo fell in love and got married.
I've used a backing paper from MCS Floral Masterpieces for the background to this card. The colours used are taken from the bouquet and bridesmaids' dresses. The dresses were pale green and the bride carried a bouquet of bronze crysanthamums.
I've used Marianne dies for the flowers (card candy for the middles), swirls and leaves, Spellbinders for the banner and my Cricut for the numbers which I've cut twice with the darker colour card as a shadow. I then sat and placed tiny crystal gems around the numbers.
I was asked by a friend at work to make this for her parents special day.
This is for this week's challenge from CD Sunday.
What a wonderful card Jocelyn and a wonderful reason for a Just Because. I was the little bridesmaid as in the photo at my Godmother's wedding 60 and a bit years ago so it gave me quite a jolt when I saw your photo.

This is a super card and such a great reason for a just because card. Although I'm not quite that old it does bring back memories of an aunts wedding.
