Stampingbella Brett and Brenda Wedding Card

This wedding card is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2". The image is from Stampingbella called Uptown Couple Brett and Brenda Get Married found here.  It was really a snap to color with Copics since most of the coloring was for the suit.  Card base is a Red card stock with a White card stock mat, then some gorgeous Hanko Washi paper from their 2015 Spring Release.  You can find this as well other Hanko Washi paper selections on Hanko's on site store here.
