A Special Card

A friend of mine was to wed her dream man therefore a card needed to be made. This is that card.
Visible Image stamps came to the rescue here. The words on this stamp are just so beautiful. The clean lines I have given the card are for Karen and Drew, Karen's style of crafting is clean cut and the grungy finish of the stamp fits my style of crafting,
The stamp here is called Hearts Entwined. Stamped in blue onto a heart shape die cut and ink distressed with DI.
The back ground cuts are made using my cricut. Three of the frames from the "Frame of Mind" cart.
The colours chosen as these, I knew, were part of the colour scheme, ivory and blue.
The sparkle - well that again ties in with the occasion and there's always going to be bling where Karen is. The flowers are a beautiful royal blue from stash.
A bit showing the corner detail better.
 
Inside is another Visible Image stamp, Fairy Tale Ending. I'm afraid I shook a bit here and the stamp didn't stamp as well as it normally does. That's my fault not the stamps. I was in a rush to get it finished. This is 10 mins before it was to begin it's journey to the happy couple

We all have our mis-stamps, don't we?
Both these stamps are available from that fabulous bricks and mortar and online shop - That Craft Place 


I'd like to enter this card into the challenge at
