First Kiss

I have a couple of weddings coming up in the next few weeks and this cute little easel card is what I created for one happy couple. I've used the classic & stylish Black & White with a pop of colour combination with a very delicate 'Key to my Heart' die. I've used pop dots to create a ledge to help the easel card to stand up.
