LOTV Together Forever Engagement Card

Morning folks. I hope you've all had a fab weekend and enjoyed the mini heatwave we were predicted. Unfortunately here on the coast the sudden rise in temperature caused us to have thick fog! However, a quick call to SIL confirmed that if we headed inland slightly that we would find sunshine, lucky for us, she decided to invite us for BBQ. No przes for guessing who looks ever so slightly pink today having forgotton to bring sun lotion!!!

Anyway, onto my card. DH asked me to make a card for a work colleague who has just got engaged. I didn't have any images suitable for an engagement card (he wanted something cute), so after a couple of phonecalls, I found that a friend had this image from LOTV. I hope the happy couple like this card (tbh I'm not thrilled with it, not sure what's wrong but it doesn't sit right with me, but DH wants it for today).


I coloured the image with Promarkers. The sky has been created using Promarkers and a Blender Pen. The papers were a magazine freebie and everything else was in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today.
