CAS One Layer Card-Wedding

Hello peeps!
I had such a busy night at work last night that I didn't get chance to come on here afterwards...I was too shattered!

But I'm back! To be greeted by one of my favourite challenges of the week...Less is More! And this week it's 'Off The Page'. Well I have lots of ideas, only marred by the fact that I don't have an awful lot of stamps that would really work all that well, other than my usual swirls and flourishes! Then I remembered an old cd I got free with Complete Crafting With Your PC...with wedding images on! (I know, more wedding cards from me!) So....here is my 1st entry...I'm sure I won't let it beat me this week! ;)
As I mentioned, the image is from CCMWYPC Issue 25, and I inserted it into a word document that was set to a 6x6 card blank size. The trick was getting it to print right at the edges of the card...I had to tell the printer it was printing on A4 paper to allow it to print 'borderless', but it worked! :) I have coloured it with Promarkers (Ice Grey 1,2,4, Cocktail Pink, Powder Blue, Blush, Satin, Primrose Yellow, Pastel Yellow, Tan, Cinnamon & Blender) The trick I found for the subtle colouring was to use the blender before adding colour. That way it blends to a much softer finish. Though be careful of bleeding!

I finished with the sentiment in Scriptina and a little Butterfly Trails glitter and a few pearls.

I am also entering my card into One Stop Craft Challenge's Clean and Simple challenge this week.

I hope you like it...I do! :)
