Now for the Big News, well it is for me and many of you will GASP when you see it, but I have added Brown to my Blog!!! That dreaded BR**N color that I have such a huge allergy too!!!! LOL!!!!! Believe me I have my inhaler and my phone to dial 911 handy right by my keyboard!!!

No Really a while back team member De created these Really Pretty Buttons for Etsy (Well they are really pretty when I have my Brown Free glasses on!!!! LOL If you know me well and or are a regular to my blog you are totally laughing along with me now!!!! My allergy to the color brown dates back to child hood, but orange was always my favorite color then!!!!!), no I am just kidding because even with the Huge Allergy to BR**N that I have I can still always appreciate something that deserves appreciation even if it has BR**n in it!!!!

So onto my creation. As this store immediately made me think - Wedding of course one of the first stamps I think of when I am thinking Wedding is my The Greeting Farm Cake Topper Set!!!! It was also appropriate because Marie the owner of The Greeting Farm is getting Married this weekend!!! Wooo Hooo and Congratulations Marie!!!
.......
So I thought of Gray and Purely Pomegranate for my main colors and then I used my new SU Fifth Avenue Floral Embossing Folder and my big shot to emboss the large Rose patterns on the card. I distressed the raised portions with Purely Pomegranate Ink to bring out the image.
.......
I also added some flowers and Pearls from my
SU Pretties kit, and some dew drops from my Silver Dew Drops Set. You can see how distressing that
SU Fifth Avenue Floral Embossing
Folder with ink really makes it POP!!!!
I stamped the image up in Memento Ink, and then colored it with my copics. Not all the shading on his suit is showing up and there are parts of the suit that are much darker than it looks but the colors I used to color them in are as follows:
.......
Hair Bride: Y00, Y04, Y08, Y11
.......
Hair Groom: E53, E35, E37, E39
.......
Tux: C2, C3, C5, C7, B100
.......
Wedding Dress: C2, RV83, RV85
.......
Flowers: RV83, RV85, RV89, G24, G29

Well today is Hubby's First Day off in over 3 weeks he worked over 110 hours last week alone (7 days) so he is ready for a day off and so are we!!!! Being the always going person that he is though he is heading off to Lowes in the morning to buy new Lawn Mower Blades (we have an Acre Yard he Mows) then we are taking the kids down to the 4th of July Parade, then heading off to a 4th of July Party, and then after naps we will take the kids swimming at the pool, and then we are debating on weather or not to try to attempt to take the kids across town to The State Fair Grounds Grand Stand for the Fire Works display or to just stay in the neighbor hood and watch all the fireworks here!!!
.......
Have a Stampendous Saturday and a Wonderful 4th of July!!!! Yea America, and God Bless the Troops at home and far away, and their families here in America who are all sacrificing so that we can have our freedoms we enjoy so very much!!!
