You are loved - who doesn't need to hear those words on occasion? I'm very pleased with how I turned a recent wedding invitation into a wedding card for the daughter of a dear friend. Hope they know how much we wish we could attend but sadly had to send regrets.
Here is a peek at the graphics I snipped from the invitation:
Using my friend LeAnne's 'waxed paper' trick, I was finally able to get
a smooth cut and stacked a few of these from SSS for the focal point of my card.
SSS's Splendid Leaves Circle Frame embossing folder was used
for the front panel followed by a circle of this wedding white that was
popped up with foam tape to enable me to tuck those snipped bits.
Finished off with a few sparkly gems from PFS and it's ready for mailing.
But first I'm sharing it with WORD POWER #9
Thanks for stopping by - you are all loved!
