Wedding Wishes in Pearls

Hi all,
I hope you all had a nice week. My week was pretty busy but I made some time to get some cards finished. I am still determined to finish up projects that I had started ages ago. (thus my New Years Goal/Resolution)

Today I have a card I made for a wedding, although I don't have a wedding to attend I thought it's always nice to have one on hand. right? I am entering the Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge and so when I saw the sketch design I had a vision in mind. Another theme I chose was to make the card Monochromatic which I have never done. So this is my first time, I hope I did it right. (a little nervous : ] )



Now as I was creating the card it sort of changed from the original plan of a bird on a flower branch as my stamp image was to big so I used another image. I have to say it turned out really pretty. I usually want to color the image but this time I didn't and it's just lovely.
Another thing I have changed is completing the inside of my cards, so I don't have to do it later. Usually I wait to complete the insides of my cards until I need them but it wasn't working for me; cause when I needed them we were usually on our way out so I didn't have enough time to really decorate them like I wanted.

So here is my card:
