Happily Ever After...Inspirational Challenge #83~Purple, CASology #147~Wedding

Hello, Hello...Are you ready?  This one very, very SPECIAL post:


This is a surprise Inkspirational Challenge #83 challenge in honour of our Design Team member Pia , who is getting married to the love of her life, Thomas, next week.
We want to wish Pia a lifetime of happiness with her new husband and we’d like you to join us.


One of Pia’s favourite brands,Clearly Besotted has kindly donated a £15 gift certificate as a prize for this challenge and here’s how you could win:

For ONE entry:  Make a card for our colour challenge , featuring the colour purple
For a SECOND entry: make a card that has BOTH purple AND a love/wedding theme.


We’d also love you to pop over to Pia’s blog and leave a message for the happy couple.

The Design Team have kept their cards hidden from the blog until now, so we can surprise Pia with this special challenge (although she may have received some in real life!):

My card for our sweet Pia (I am sooooo seriously stoked for her!) is the debut of my new Altenew Vintage Roses, combined with a sentiment from Clearly Besotted:


Pia and Thomas: may you truly live 'happily ever after'...and may 'ever after' be a long, long life time filled with joy and love, always and in all ways! Much love to you both!

I hope you'll join us in celebrating the newlyweds!

I'm joining the gallery over at CASology Challenge #147~Wedding (perhaps not quite as *cas* as it should be but...hope it still kinda-sorta fits)

Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day!
Hugs,
