I was inspired by the two swans on the sweater and pulled out this beautiful swan image, a retired stamp from Heartfelt Creations. The image was stamped, colored with Copics, and then die cut. I also stamped and colored the lilies, shaped them, added stamens to the centers, and finished them with a touch of Stickles for sparkle.
Behind the dimensional lilies, I tucked two additional stamped lily images, also colored with Copics, to add depth and fullness.
All of the elements were arranged within the shaped gate die cuts and layered onto purple cardstock for a rich backdrop.
This card is headed to my son and his fiancée, who will be married soon. Since she loves ducks, I thought this swan image would be a sweet nod to her love of them.

Another very beautiful and original design for a wedding card Lisa, this one has a more romantic feel while still having an air of drama. The swans are beautiful as are those magnificent dimensional lilies.

The Swans look as graceful on your card as they do in real life, always such a feel of elegance when they move and Lilies are equally lovely making a perfect backdrop in front of the gilded gateway.
