You Glow Girl!

My sister-in-law is getting married in a few months. We went wedding dress shopping recently and I thought this would make the perfect "good to see you" kind of card. You may notice the smudge on the left side of the card. I was all the way done and picked up the card to admire my work. Big mistake. I had ink on my finger...bummer. So, this is what I added to the back of the card:

Anyway, here are the materials I used:

• Groovy Bridal Bellas stamp by Stamping Bella
