Wedding Card

Good Morning I just wanted to show you a card that I made as a commission for a lovely lady.
It always takes me ages to make wedding cards, I don't know why. I think its because its the one day in your life that you remember and want everything to be just perfect.  So I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself to get it just right. But I'm really pleased with the way this one turned out.  


I was searching on you tube how to many different easel cards and I came across a tutorial for a twisted easel card and thought I would give it a go.  Click here to view this tutorial

I brought this Magnolia image especially for this card.  When I've visited the craft shop, always picked it up and then put it down again.  So making this card was the excuse of buying it. Later in this post I will list all the goodies I used to make this card..
