Congratulations, You Two

Well I made it through the first week of my new job and today slept half the day away.  I wanted to make a wedding/engagement card for my stash.  I recently purchased this Splendid Swans set just for this purpose.  I used my distress oxides to make the background.



Cardstock:  Core-dinations; Recollections
Watercolor Paper:  Strathmore
Ink:  Memento - Tuxedo Black
        Distress Oxide:  Salty Ocean, Broken China, Faded Jeans, Peacock Feathers
