Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold projects. I have chosen to share the wedding card made for my niece and her new wife’s wedding last week. Such a lovely day. I used the Gallery Blooms stamp set and Everyday Arches Dies to create my card.

The letters were then adhered to the embossed panels. I used a T ruler to make sure I got the letters as straight as possible. The embossed and decorated panels were then adhered to the Petal Pink arches.
