Congratulations

A simple card made using the PTI Simply Jane dies - I have to tell you I'm addicted to these dies, since you haven't seen all the other cards I've made with them yet.
 :)
My brother and SIL's first wedding anniversary is coming up, so I wanted to have a card ready for them...


The sentiment is embossed - I love that Ranger inks can be used for that, and I only discovered it a little while back, while randomly looking at the bottom of the ink pad. Handy dandy, if I do say so. :)

Made for this weeks CAS-ual Fridays challenge (one each of sentiment, pattern, and image) and ABC DT (spring - weddings are very spring ;)).

Thanks so much for stopping in today, and happy feast of St. Joseph!
