Wedding Wishes...

Hi from sunny South Carolina...or at least it is normally sunny.  However, we've been having heavy rains since the first of the year, breaking the last record in 1982.   The garden is well watered, and in need of sunshine so I can enjoy my summer time favorite, a good old timey tomato sandwich with dukes mayonaise (also a South Carolina must have--it is made a few miles from where I live).  I started "mulling" over what to make with this sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches since it was posted a few days ago.  Finally, I got it made yesterday evening.  Sticking pretty much to a sketch is how I work,  but on this one the three little embellishments I planned for the bottom of the card didn't quite happen.  In the process of assembling the card,  I tore a cuticle on my fourth finger left hand, which I didn't notice until I was attaching the bouquest in the middle.  That's when I noticed faint little red places...I looked down at my hands thinking I would see smeared ink, but not so.   After washing my hands and putting on a bandaid- I returned to figure out what my options were. I went with sequins, big sequins I couldn't put my hand on the thin liquid glue I normally use and my glue dots aren't small.  There wasn't time to make another one and get it posted by today's deadline, so what you see is what I got!   I really do think the card is quite pretty...I took two photos trying to show the glistening roses of the bouquet.  Thanks for stopping by, may you have safe and good week!   Kathy

PS, even if there wasn't a pandemic, I would not send this card to anyone--it will just sit on my work station for awhile...however I do plan to make another one when my cuticle heals!
