Silver Wedding


Here's two cards made for a family Silver Wedding celebration. The first card was for my MIL to give and the second one is from our family. I was pleased to be able to play with my new toy - a Grand Calibur machine.

I used some white Linen effect Cored'inations card here, cut on the diagonal and then embossed the pink for some added texture. The embossing didn't quite line up so I covered the worst bit with punched flowers!




                Just love the heart die from Memory Box!


All the materials are from stash.

Tools used:

Card 1
Spellbinders Shapeabilities - Parisian Accents
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Divine Swirls
