Earlier this month a very dear friend for over 30 years got married, perfect occasion to create a really special and luxurious card made with great care and much love.

This is one of the techniques I shared with my monthly class at the end of March, although most the products I used have now retired 😦 – the technique will work for any papers, stamps and dies that you have in your stash!
