MMSC Sketch w/ Unity Challenge

I got Basic Grey's Kioshi paper in the mail today and used it for this wedding card. The Unity challenge last week was to ink up the first stamps you bought from them. Something Within was my first purchase, love the Bible verses and the cross!

The three strand cord and three pearls on the cross symbolize that marriage is a union between the husband, wife, and God.
I used sketch 52 from Midnight Madness. (They have a great giveaway there, celebrating their 1 year anniversary!) I also used Palette burnt umber ink and Ranger Butterscotch ink and clear embossing powder, the Paper Studio pearls. The tag, blue fiber paper, butterscotch cs, and cord are from my stash. I hand printed the wedding date on the tag with a Martha Stewart sepia marker. The tag can be removed and used as a keepsake bookmark.
