When I saw it, I had a few ideas, and most of them just didn't work right once I got them onto paper...but I was really happy with this one...
I stamped the background (Backgrounds & Borders - Retro Style) on the Spring Rain layer using my versamark pad, as I didn't want it too bold. The sentiment (Star Prints) and swirls (Fancy Flourishes) were stamped in Brilliance Chocolate ink -- I LOVE that ink - it's SO rich. and GREAT coverage too...
Then I added a few bridal confetti flowers from M's, and some pearls in the centers, a touch of ribbon, and it's done!
I hope you get the opportunity to play along, as I'd love to see what YOU do with the inspiration piece. Lauren will be choosing her top 5 faves, it could be YOUR time to shine!
Here's links to the rest of the DT -- stunning I tell you -- stunning.

I own those flowers coincidentally and never once thought of using them...dang! Glad you did though, because this is fantastic!!! Love that you stamped the background in VersaMark and kept it clean. Also love how you added the satin ribbon without a bow! That really gives it a professional quality.
