Showers of Happiness

**Yikes, Blogger has had some issues and deleted this post - so here it is again **

Remember this card?  Well, last weekend I attended a bridal shower for Lindsay and again I stressed about the card.  When you're making a card for a fellow stamper, the pressure is on :)  I knew the image I wanted to use but I just couldn't come up with anything until Cath came to the rescue!  Click here to see the beautiful card she made.  It couldn't have been more perfect - it was exactly the image I was going to use!

Wedding Gown Circle is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I only used four copics.  I went a little crazy with my new Lacey Circle nesties but actually love it as I think it looks like a layered wedding cake! 
I dug out my SU Flourish Textured plate for a soft embossed background and gave it a spritz of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.  Of course I had to paper piece the bow on her dress and add some tiny dots of glitter.  A bow with a tiny pearl heart finished it off.  I was really happy with the end result and Lindsay loved it too.  Thanks again Cath - couldn't have done it without you! :)

Cheerio.....Leslie

I've finally made my way back here now that Blogger is working again....girlfriend this card ROCKS! It's way better than mine but I'm glad you found a starting point and ran with it. You're right, the layers of circles do remind me of a wedding cake - you crafty thing you!
