Handmade Wedding Card You Can Make For A Beautiful & Lasting Impression

by
handmade-wedding-card-leaves-lasting-impression

A handmade wedding card is a keepsake that will leave a lasting impression. Think it’s hard to make this greeting card? Let me show you that it’s not! I did some very simple watercoloring on this card and I know you can do it too!

It is so easy because you first emboss which gives the image some “ridges” that hold in the watercoloring. I love doing this and it’s so quick and easy. Want to learn how to make a handmade wedding card that’s this beautiful yourself? Keep scrolling for the video, measurements, and supply list to make both of these cards.
