A Wedding, and a Retirement Card

Hello and welcome here!  It's been a long while since I've posted something other than for the Design Teams I'm on, partly because I didn't want to be tied to the computer so much, and partly because I just wasn't creating anything.  But since work is done for the summer (I work in a school), I've had time to myself and have been bitten by the creative bug again!

Here are two cards I made for work.  One lady was getting married, and the other was retiring.  The cards  needed to be bigger so that everyone could sign them.

Card Size: 5" x 7"

All white cards are always so hard for me to photograph and edit.  It tends to overexpose when I lighten it up a bit, so I have to leave them a little darker so that you can see the details. I kept it Clean & Simple to reflect elegance.  The image I used is a digital image I found HERE, at Wedding Girl Blog.

Recipe: Digital Image-Wedding Girl Blog Bride Silhouette, CTMH CS-White Daisy & Spring Iris, Spellbinders-Labels 10, EF-Craft Concepts Budding Vine, White Grosgrain Ribbon, White Satin Edge Ribbon, Pearls, Foam Squares.

This card was for a teacher who was retiring, so I wanted it to be a little extra special.  I love the lacy feel of the Floral Frames and Romantic Rectangles by Spellbinders, and I was able to layer them up because of the large size of card I needed to use.
