Congratulations to Vivi and Rick!!

So, when you find out your friends who are visiting the U.S. from Brazil have had a surprise wedding in Las Vegas, what do you do? You quickly find a wedding stamp!  I love this Whimsy stamp and Vivi and Rick gave me a reason to buy it. So, between the time they got married in Vegas and came back to Phoenix to catch their plane returning to Brazil, I made them a wedding card. It's taken me a bit to get to posting this card for the newlyweds, but the memories of them here will never fade.


Vivi's favorite color is purple which explains the color theme. I added Star Dust Stickles on the flowers and the dress. The colors in the picture below are a little off and I've figured out that if there's too much sunlight, the photos turn a blue-ish color, so I apologize, but the colors in the above picture are accurate!


I pulled out three pretty laces and added pearls on this card. The flowers are a combination of flowers from Stamping and Scrapping and Wild Orchid.  I made the two stick pins in the purple, white and silver colors and added a little silver "love" charm to the bow along with a white flat pearl button! Who would have thought a button could be so pretty.


Congratulations Rick and Vivi and thank you for the opportunity to spend time with you on your very special vacation!

                                                                     Hugs to you both,
                                                                              Gail

  10. Gail, this is so, so pretty - what a very special card and souvenir of their day. I take it the Vivi you refer to is as in 'Handmade by Vivi'?? She hasn't mentioned it on her blog! Thought I'd better check first, as I don't want to congratulate her if I've got the wrong Vivi LOL

  15. Hi Gail! I just got an email letting me know that you had left a lovely comment on my blog - thanks so much! I love your Wee wedding couple - but then Sylvia's images are all so beautiful and you have done a wonderful card with so many pretty embellishments. I hope the Happy Couple had a wonderful day. I'm not crafting at the moment as my stash is in boxes while the main living area is undergoing a major redecorating spree - and it's taking far longer than expected. When I'm not wielding a paint brush I'm browsing Pinterest so I'm glad you found me there!
    love and hugs,
