A very small and intimate affair, just 7 of us altogether (them, us, the grooms 2 grown up children and a girlfriend!) - it was all the more special for that. They're having two small celebrations with their respective families who live a considerable distance away from each other when they come back!
So here's my share for today -
The papers are very very old - that old I have no idea where they're from!
The darker green piece is two off cuts and I just juggled about positioning it with it so that I got a larger piece to the right and little teen scrap peeping out from the left.
Used some scrap hessian for a 'rustic' feel (cheated a bit with this too cos it's in two pieces - the space is hidden behind the image!)
Highlighted the LOTV image with promarkers and matted onto green card then punched two holes and added metal eyelets.
String threaded through and tied using a metal rimmed clock button for the bow centre.
A tiny metal fish charm tied from the string and positioned onto the top of the sentiment (a freebie from TLC) which was printed onto Kraft then die cut. Two corners punched using the remanants of the die cut piece.
Popping into the Playground this week (been absent but have good excuses which I hope Miss will accept....LOL)

Enjoyed having a little share in your wedding festivities...everyone looks so happy! I can imagine your intimate celebration was much more enjoyable than having large groups of people & trying to speak a word to many folks, without being able to really enjoy the occasion. This is a perfect card to share on a relaxed day. Love the soothing colors - with this sweet little fisherman. The burlap (you call it ?Hessian?) is a wonderful touch of texture & dimension, and what a super card for a youngster or a guy. Well done, and hope you are all rested up this evening. TFS & Hugs
Fabulous card. I love the earthy feel to it. And fab photos from the wedding too!
A wonderful card and beautiful photographs :o)

LOVE this card Viv! Just perfect right from the darling image to the sentiment, papers and hessian. The 'clock' button is a super touch - 'cos when fishing it always seems as if time is the least of one's worries.
And great piccies of the wedding - as I said before, you do scrub up well! :)
Hugs

Super card Viv. Lovely image and nice choice of papers
The wedding piccies look gorgeous, lovely choice of colour for you and the bride! Small intimate weddings are my cup of tea, when hubby and I married 40 years ago we had 120 guests and most of them family that we had not seen for years or in one case had'nt met until that day!! I guess that was the tradition then, family affairs and not so many close friends. If we did it all again we would most definately go for something really small, maybe on the beach here in Cyprus.
Good luck to the lovely couple.
Love Sheila x
Well don't you just look lovely after trying on 57,000 outfits! The happy couple look so happy too! Wonderful.
Loving the LOTV card with the matching papers.
Hugs, Sarn xxx

What a genius eye for color you have, Viv! Did you notice your darling snippets card matches the greens worn by you and the bride?! A fun serendipity moment! All three photos are fabulous! I do love your card design using the plaid and the burlap and the twine and the charms! Thank you so much for joining in the City Crafter challenge! Hugs, Darnell
