Lifetime of Happiness

It seems like I have created quite a few wedding cards recently and for the ones I have to show you today, I used the Lifetime of Love stamp set pairing it with the Perennial Lavender 
designer series paper.


The sentiment was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink on a die cut made with the Spotlight on Nature dies and I added a few Tinsel Gems Three Pack embellishments to complete the card.
I just love the colors and patterns in the Perennial Lavender paper collection, and it is always hard to pick just one for a project, so I used two!


Supplies:
Lifetime of Love
Gorgeous Grape ink
Crumb Cake, Basic White, Fresh Freesia card stock
Tinsel Gems Three Pack
Spotlight on Nature dies
