Engagement Card

I needed to make an engagement card for my husband's work friend so I thought I would try out my Xcut nesting heart dies (I got them when I got the nesting stars). I wasn't sure of the friends taste so I thought I would play it safe and go for classic black and white. I am going to enter this card into the following challenges: Less is More Week 55 Punches or Die Cuts and Sarah Hurley Challenge Blog Challenge 60 Die Cuts. Thanks for looking :o) xx


Ingredients
Stamp: Hero Arts Everyday Sayings.
BG Papers: Plain paper from my stash.
Dies: Xcut Nesting Hearts.
Embossing Folder: Cuttlebug Divine Swirl.
