This morning I am sharing with you this little wedding card that I put together using The Stamping Chef digi .... 'Put a Ring on it', which can be purchased here. I coloured her in using Pro Markers and for the ring and crown I used gold leaf and Stickles glue.  For the card I used Creata Mirror and silky backing card which I embossed using the Keepsake board 'Once upon a time' and cut out. I layered all card together then edged with Keepsake peel-offs, added lace ribbon, flower, pearl gems and gold rings from my stash.
