PAPERTAKE WEEKLY - ONE PAPER TAKER

Hello Everyone

How are you all?  I hope you are all keeping well.

It's Tuesday again which means it's challenge time over at Papertake Weekly and this week's challenge is "One Paper Taker" which means you can only use one piece of patterened paper - easy huh?

Our lovely sponsor this week is The Ribbon Girl so if you want to be in with a chance to win make sure you get your entries in over at Papertake Weekly and as always check out and see what the wonderful creative DT ladies have made for you.

Here is my card:

Now I know some of you will be wondering why the Bride has red hair - well, my Sister asked me to make a wedding card for one of her friends and it just so happens that the Bride is sporting some rather lovely red hair - what a great way to personalise a card, I don't think  you would ever get a card in a shop with a Bride with red hair.
