Here Comes the Bride PPA Challenge

The Pals Paper Arts  is throwing a party this week - a wedding party that is!  Come join our featured artist Martha Stewart (a wedding wouldn't be complete without Martha Stewart :) and the PPA team as we use this beautiful photo for inspiration!  Anything Wedding PPA93
I wanted to create a simple, yet elegant card for this weeks PPA Challenge.   Of course, mine has to have flowers... vellum flowers that is.  I found this awesome tutorial for these gorgeous beauties awhile back at Selma’s Stamping Corner.  I followed Selma’s tutorial as stated, but you can layer any SU Punches like this.

I want to take a minute and thank everyone for your kind words, prayers and concern over my neck injury.  It’s slowly getting better.  I hope you know I think of each of you everyday!  I will reply to your emails and comments soon.  I so appreciate your patience.  I am slowly returning to doing some things on the computer.  I’m still not able to stay on here to long which is driving me up the wall!!!   I miss you guys!!!

Carla, this wedding card is beautiful. I love the blue vellum I didn't know it came in colors (guess I live under a rock). The white with the blue is so serene, I just love it.
Glad to hear you're getting a bit better each day, keep up the good work!

Carla this is just beautiful. I LOVE your vellum flowers! This is such a soft and pretty look. Your inside is gorgeous too.
PS: I never even thought to use colored vellum for the punched flower...daaahh.
I have TONS of colored vellum from my days when scrapbooking was a priority... so guess what I'll be playing with now. TFS.

This card is stunningly beautiful! I just can't think of any new original words to describe it. That color of blue is my favorite! I love vellum flowers. Selma turned me on to them and I've got to make some again. Did I say your card is stunningly beautiful?
