Wedding Card

Here is a clean and simple wedding card I made for friends. 

I started by embossing the card base with the hearts embossing folder,

then using one of the labels set, I die-cut the sentiment.

Next, I used the next size up and die-cut a silver mirror card to

mat the sentiment onto. I used 3D foam to give some dimension.

Lastly I added some diamanté gems to finish.

The products I have used are:

Spellbinders Labels Sixteen

Embossing Folder - Brand unknown

Digi Stamp Boutique - Wedding Word Art (discontinued)

lives next door to me.

a little bit special and different, especially as she was missing having a 

party with her friends and family.
