Sweet, talented and within-mere-days-of-becoming-mom-to-twin-boys, Bev, from Uniko Studio, is hostessing a 'surprise' bridal shower for one of her DT members - Ren-yi - who is getting married on August. 22. I've received a number of encouraging, uplifting comments from Ren-yi over the span of my blogging enterprise, so making a card for her was simply a given. I went for a stroll to round up some inspiration, found it here, at the talented Kimberly Harris' site, rounded up my dies and the remnants of my one sheet of lovely 'collage' butterfly paper, and went a-creating...
My card features a three-layered Uniko butterfly and sentiment (congratulations is stamped inside), so in addition to posting this at the special * for Ren-yi* gallery, I'm also sharing at Uniko Studio Challenge #13: Special Occasions.
To Ren-yi and your new husband: wishing you a wonderful wedding day, filled with all the sparkles that come with such a special occasion, and a lifetime filled with an abundance of blessings!
Oh goodness..that reminds me that our 3rd anniversary is right around the corner! Perhaps I should do something extra nice for my husband *grin*. A surprise warranted for him having put up with me all this time. At the moment, it will be a surprise to me, too, because no ideas are storming my brain...yet. Chocolate cake would work. Hmmmm....
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day!

Wow Carol, this is a stunning wedding card! I am loving the papers you used, and all the different layers to this card as well as the layered up butterflies. Amazing card my friend! An anniversary coming up soon?! Well that is just awesome!! Happy soon to be Anniversary!!! You can never go wrong with chocolate cake! Hugs, Brenda
Your weather sounds similar to ours this week! I hope that Mr. Mojo has made an appearance for you to complete your tasks, though he was certainly present with this beauty :) I love the shaped card, something I really struggle with attempting. The layered butterfly really adds the elegant touch. So glad you joined in on the Bridal Shower for Ren-Yi and also the USC #13 :) Hugs Bev x
Such a lovely, soft colour combo, Carol ... and what a beautiful layered vellum butterfly ... such a pretty wedding card! Chocolate cake sounds good ... what else would Andy need ... fabulous you and chocolate cake (and maybe the bike!) Hugs, Anita :)
I love lazy, slow-motion days, particularly with rain coming down! You've used your time well. A beautiful butterfly on beautiful patterns!
Beautiful, soft papers and the butterfly is gorgeous. Wonderful round card and those Lil' Inker's stitched dies add just the right touch :)
Gasp! This is stunning, Carol--gorgeous! Our anniversary is around the corner, too (3 with 4=34!) & I haven't even made him a card yet! I do have zucchini apple bread in the freezer, though, & we both loved it so that may replace cake for us!
Gosh, so elegant Carol. How did you do the background or is it DSP?
You're a sweetheart, Carol. What a lovely card to celebrate Ren-yi's upcoming nuptials!
Oh I love your pretty shaped card....so perfect for Ren-Yi!
So SWEET!!! Love the colors and the butterfly in the center is GORGEOUS!!!
A very pretty card, love the shape and your central butterfly.
Awwwwww pretty!! All the right ingredients for a wedding card - soft touches, elegance and sweetness. I KNOW Ren-Yi will adore it just as much as I do!
And when is your anniversary?!! Since it's taken me so long to get caught up on my commenting it may have even passed!!! Well, I know one thing, there is no way your sweet hubby "puts up" with you!!! You are his everything and I just know he embraces and cherishes every minute of every day he gets to spend with you!
