Wedding Bells at 4 Crafty Chicks!

Our hostess-with-the-mostess over at 4 Crafty Chicks is Tamie this week and she's bringing you a "Wedding" challenge! It took me a while to come up with my card for this challenge. Normally, I would do an elegant, soft card but this time around, I decided to crack open my Love Birds Simply Scrappin' Kit (retired) and make a fun, cute card. I hope you enjoy these two love birds:
