Gold Wedding

A wedding card in the same design as this one, but with a different border and colour scheme, following the Tic Tac Toe at Bizzy Bec's.  I love how the A2 embossing folder fits the square card perfectly once the edge has been die-cut with the Spellbinders Edgeabilities edges and decorative inserts.

I chose Wedding + Bling + Dry Embossing



I used square pearlised gold card blank, Spellbinders Edgeabilities Classic Edges Two and Classic decorative Inserts Three, Cuttlebug Kimberley's Card embossing folder, Prickley Pear Birdcage die set, sentiment sticker, large blingy rhinestone.
