Wedding card

Evening all

Here's another card for you :) This card was made for a friend to give to a special couple. I posted it to my friend, and for some reason, it never got delivered and got sent back to me. So during this time I made another card for her really quick and sent that one off to her. This one came back to me with a big tear in it, but I really liked how I'd coloured the image and didn't want to waste it. It had been personalised, so I ripped the personalised sentiments off, and...improvised :P 

The giant bow covers up the tear that the postal system added, and the dewdrops cover up the blemishes where the personalised sentiments were popped up on foam squares. I was pretty happy with how it turned out :) 

Ingredients
Image and Sentiment - LOTV 
Ribbons, dewdrops and gem from Ribbon Girl
Embossalicious embossing folders
Doohickey heart border die
Spellbinders oval die
Coloured with Copics
Stickles, Frantage and Glossy Accents

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

As You Like It - Favourite Die (one of a few favourites, the spellbinders oval is great for adding some fanciness to occasion cards)
