wedding invitation

Good morning everyone! Today we're starting a new challenge over at Allways Something Creative. For the next fornight Manuela chose a very special theme... She wants to see your sentiment as main focus. This is something that's very hard for me, that's why I am showing the wedding invitation card that I designed together with my colleague Denise for her wedding in August.

She wanted to have a simple design without any image. This is what we came up with in the end...

Hello everyone!
With some delay I showing you my DT card for the challenges over Allways Something Creative as well as Creatalicious. As I am going on holidays soon  -  on Sunday to be more exactly  -  I combined both challenge themes (Sketch from Allways Something Creative & "Up to the Sky" from Creatalicious) as I don't have that much time to create lots of cards at the moment.
And I am also late with this combined card as my beloved car broke down and I had to get a new one, so that I can get to work... Hope you enjoy it anyways.
