Wedded Bliss could apply to anniversary cards as well (at least we hope it's blissful!) and since I am in more need of those than wedding cards, I went with it!
Even though this stamp set (This Day Forward) is retiring, I will hold on to it because this image is so pretty--especially embossed in gold. You might remember this card I made with it for a very special couple. Once I embossed the image in gold, there was no stopping all the golden elements on this card. Gold embossed vellum, brushed gold cardstock, gold embossed sentiment and gold baker's twine! I discovered that the stripes on the embossed vellum are exactly the same width as SNAIL glue so I ran some SNAIL behind each gold striped to adhere it to the card base. I thought that was very clever--haha!

Wow, this is gorgeous, Nance! Love all that gold and the beautiful stamped image!
Beautiful card! I love the gold and white color scheme - just perfect for a wedding card. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
This is glorious in all it's goldness, Nance! I love that that snail can be hidden behind the gold stripes too...very convenient! The embossing really makes this card stand out!
wonderful card & sorry to see this set retiring.
Soooo elegant! Hope you had a great vacation!
Beautiful, Nance! I love all of the texture. The vellum is such an elegant touch.
This is gorgeous! Very elegant!
Nance, I love this color scheme. The gold is so perfect for a wedding card. You are right, this is a precious image for a wedding card and I can see why you will hold on to it. I also love the script embossed layer. Gorgeous.
