Wedding Day with KennyK's Wedding Dance Digi and Spellbinders

Wedding Day with KennyK's Wedding Dance Digi and Spellbinders

Another Wedding congratulations card to day using another terrific digi stamp from kennykdownloads.com.
Spec for this card was just "Fun" and I think this stamp suits it perfectly.

I used the Spellbinders Botanical Swirls, which I have to admit is being sent to the BadBoy drawer.
First time I've had difficulty die cutting was with this die, it took 3 runs through the Grand Calibur and then it moved slightly when embossing.
In all, I had to cut it three times, taping it down really well to get the embossing in the right place.
It only cuts out the centre portion of the die and you have to use a craft knife to cut away the edges, so I'm not impressed with this die at all.
I admit if I'd known this before purchase I wouldn't have bought this die.
I then used a craft knife to cut it into two sections.

Sorry, the pearl card I've used, is beautiful in life but doesn't photograph well.
Large card measuring 19cm x 19cm

Pink n Black Congratulations On Your Wedding Card.

Oh dear, I've sat down so often with the intention of blogging and just never seem to be able to find the time to finish. So here it goes again, we'll see how I get on this time.

Pink n Black Congratulations On Your Wedding Card.

This is a Wedding card using a digital stamp from KennyK - I've used this stamp on several creations but this is my newest edition.  Spec' I was asked for on this was "happy and bright" and the wedding invitations had pink in them so I used that as a base. It's fairly big at 18cm x 18cm sq.
