A Special Card for a Special Couple
Happy Sunday! A couple of months ago I made this special card for my niece’s wedding day and was thinking outside the box. The papers were meant to be for Christmas, but I used it as a background for her card, and I used the Frosted Frames Dies to create the setting for the hearts. […]
