Wedding card 2013

 I haven't been doing a ton of crafting this year, but I have still made cards for special occasions for my friends and family.  This card is one of the most special ones I have made this year.  My cousin got married to a wonderful woman.
The idea for this card actually came from their 'save the date' card and their invitation.  They had a branch with a tiny bird on the save the date card, and a chandelier on the invitation.  The paper I used is DCWV, and I found this spellbinders die after a long search.  The lovebirds stamp was a little large for the tree, so I used Shrink-a-dinks to make it an appropriate size.  I haven't used Shrinks since I was a kid, and forgot how they work, so there is a slight bend in the finished product.  I am still very pleased with the final result, and so was the bride and groom. :)
 
I am hoping to start my Christmas cards soon and will try to post more of the work that I have completed this year.  Thanks for stopping by.
