Silver Wedding

Well this is a card Ive killed two birds with one stone my crafting friend Helen is having a crafty afternoon tomorrow but unfortunately I have to work (to earn more money for crafty goodies) so she kindly sent me the sketch that they are going to be using so I also needed to make a silver wedding card so Ive used the sketch and really pleased with it. Used SU bridal paper ooh they are going down fast and I can't get more, never mind, I also used swiss dots embossing folder and an another one cant remember what its called, the stamp is hero arts have used it quite a lot and only had it a couple of weeks but it is just so versatile. Used nesties for the squares and gems, pearls and candy from stash. Still haven't decided on that other card I was doing today but we will see what a new day says.
