Meljens,

 I have use an image from Meljens

Too Sweet Kitty

To create my card I coloured the image with alcohol pens (I use Promarkers, Spectrum noirs and Graphit pens,) and finished off with my brush and distress inks and cut the image out using Tonic dies. I added glitter and glossy accents to my image and a rose embellishment around kitty's neck. The background lattice is cut out using a tonic die and 3d mounted onto Stampin up paper.

I added pearls to the lattice and finished off by adding a butterfly sentiment from Craftwork cards.

Thank you so much for visiting

make sure you pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the wonderful cards.

I was asked to make a wedding card so I used the one I had made and personalised it.

The reason for the baseball bat is that they intend to break up their wedding cake !!!!!

As I have already told you we got married 9 years ago, today.

Steve is my third husband , and I his 3rd wife.

Well my excuse is I don't suffer fools lol

or I just hadn't found the right one . 

Hopefully this time I have.

It  certainly was the best of the 3  wedding days.

 Each wedding was totally different

  from the white wedding dress in the 80's (1985)

to a peach suite in the 90's (1996)

to how you see me in the 00's (2004) 

We only had a small do with close friends,

after we went to a local tearoom 

for our meal

 and it was all over for 2.30 pm.

If you have guessed my special word 

 for the rhyme on 

 Crafting with Dragonflies blog.

then hop on over to the lovely

Susan 

to finish the rhyme.

If not here is a little more of a clue

SILVER is a sign of Purity, chastity and eloquence.

In European folklore, SILVER was considered a mystical element, and much like Cold Iron, was considered something of an problem for the supernatural. The myth of silver's mystical properties goes deep into human history. Silver is believed to have purifying effects, a belief that likely arose from the observation that water kept in a silver pitcher took longer to go scummy; in real-life, silver has been shown to have some minor antibacterial properties.
