My First Burtonesque Dolls Challenge as a DT Member

I am so happy to show you my first card as a member of the Burtonesque Dolls and join them in their 4th challenge "An Affair To Remember".  This week we are partying with the Busy Beauties gals, Carolyn and company, who are sponsoring our challenge with a chance to win 5 images.  YES 5 IMAGES!!!
This week's inspiration comes from Timothy Burton's "The Corpse Bride".  Create a new card, ATC, scrap page or project including this theme.  

I am also including 2 other challenges with my card today:
Stamptacular Sunday who requested pearls and swirls
Cute Card Thursday who offered this sketch.

On a wedding day it's all about the bride so I focused on her and her bouquet, of which were very dead flowers, in "The Corpse Bride" and used an image from Busy Beauties Boutique called "Emily~The Bride".

So grab an image and join me in this week's challenge!! 

PaperEverlasting Beauty (I'm not even kidding) from upsy daisy designs
EmbellishmentsBranches from outside, Wild Orchid flowers, Kaisercraft pearls, Jenni Bowlin Pearl & Rhinestone pins, raffia ribbon, Glossy Accents and Twinklets.
Punches:  Martha Stewart leaf punch (which you can hardly see in the bouquet she is holding)
Ink:  Colored With Copics and Momento Ink

Just Magnolia Week 56

Ok so I have worked on this card for at least 6 hours!!  Maybe longer and yup I overdid it but it's for a special couple and a great challenge at Just Magnolia.  They've offered this sketch for this week and although it may be hard to see under all the embellishments, it's all there.  LOL!   I've used "Tilda and Edwin Get Married" bought from the Magnolia-licious online store and it's the first time I inked this stamp but I had a great time with it.  It turned out better then I had hoped!  Love it when a plan comes together!! 

I also used some amazingly beautiful flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Holi tolito them are niiiiice!!  Inexpensive and shipping is great!
