Whimsical Wednesday ~ It's A Royal Celebration

Hello and welcome to another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge and this week it's all about the Royal Wedding! Well unless you have been under a rock, Prince William and Kate are getting married! Let me start off by telling you how excited I am for them and how excited I was to do this challenge! I just adored Princess Diana! I stayed up to watch Prince Charles and Princess Diana get married. I hope my eyes stay awake to see Prince William and Kate get married too! His Mum would have loved to see this day but I am sure she is up there watching and protecting them.
So for my card I tried to keep it as royal, elegant and simple as possible. I stayed with blues, grays and silver. I cut my wedding dress from the Sweethearts cartridge. I used my Cuttlebug Frills folder for the bottom layer of the dress. The top layer of the wedding dress I ran through my Zyron, so I could cover it with jewelry and micro beads. I also used my Market Street Stamps "Vintage Wallpaper" for my background. I LOVE this stamp! My sentiment is from PTI "Ribbon Tails". I added some tulle ,a little embellishment and here you have it!  I really like how this turned out!
Please be sure to hop on over to Whimsical Wednesday blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has created. You will find the link there to enter your porject for this challenge. I can't wait to see what you will create!
