All Welcome Back and Stuff

It's been a while!

This post is dedicated to my recent wedding. We were so fortunate to have our close friends and families provide services that made the day possible, and I sent out cards with pictures enclosed. There were 15 cards in total, but I forgot to take a photo of one...

I will have 3-4 cards per post over the next 4 days. Some cards I made quite a while ago, and I can't remember the exact details of what products I used. Sorry about that. There are also quite a few retired products used, as I'm only just getting back into the card making game. But enjoy!


For these two cards, I created backgrounds using the emboss resist technique, and came up with these 2 designs:

Our best friend, we credit with being almost entirely at fault for the relationship, got this card below. I love the kind of sarcastic tone of the "gee, thanks" sentiment!
