WEDDING DAY

Hi all, today I have a card to share with you that is a little different to my normal makes, I have made a Wedding card using Hunkydory Die Cuts.

Once a friend of mine knew that I was crafting again they asked if I would make a Wedding card for them, fortunately I had been to The Range the week before and bought a bumper pack of Hunkydory Die Cuts with cards I thought that one of the sheets would be perfect for the occasion

I used an 8 x 8 white scalloped card blank, I added the central image, a white bow, pearls, sentiment and butterflies.
