Love To Craft! Challenge Blog #23: Fetching the Garter

Hello crafty friends!  They say June is the most popular month to get married, well, now as of 2017 they are saying it is one of 3 of the most popular months.  This is my post for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, where it's also "Anything Goes".

I have 4 posts today, make sure you checked them out.


I was asked by my dad to create a wedding card for a spunky gal.  It just happens, I went to school with this gal and her newly husband.  My dad and this young lady, did volunteer work at the same place, that's how they knew each other.  They are always joking around with each other, so he wanted a funny card for her big spunky personality.  He picked out this image from Redonkoodles called Fetching the Garter (it's a tradition here in the states and can be quite humorous, like the groom pulling out different objects from under the bride's dress. Like everything. but the kitchen sink)  I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils.


My dad was always teasing the groom, that he needed to run...and fast.  This sentiment for the inside seemed to fit perfectly.


On the back of the card, I decided to add a quote.  Marriage is not perfect, nor are you or the person that stands by your side.  It's just accepting each other in their imperfections.


Here's the card with the envelope.  Yup, I stamped another quote.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
