Embossed Wedding Card

When I started this card I had all intentions of making it match the gift card holder I made last week; however, the little champagne glasses kept being too small for what I wanted to do, so I nixed that and decided to use the bride and groom stamp from the retiring To Have and To Hold. I also got to use my brand new set that came today Friends 24-7 (look for many more cards with this set in the near future!). I had been wanting this set for a while now and after Jen signed up under me, I earned a free set through SU's Stampin' Start program, so I knew right away which one I wanted to get. My sales for April, May, and June also qualified me for another free set which I get to pick out mid-July as part of the Consistency Counts promotion SU was running for Associates and Senior Associates...picking out free stuff is so hard...hehe

Now onto the card...
