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.

I am really liking my new job, but suffering from crafting withdrawl.  Also, sitting so much is making my muscles and joints stiff and sore so that I can't wait to see my massage therapist tomorrow.  Besides getting up early and learning new material everyday is physically exhausting.  My co-workers are supportive and it is a positive work environment.  So it has been an adjustment.  I had to make a card.  I made this yesterday, but went to bed because I was too tired to post.  I played with my distress oxide ink which I haven't done in quite sometime and some embossing.  I just had to flip the side of the sketch.
