Engagement Card

This card is made for a close friend who has just told me of her engagement. I am so very happy for her; we were in choir and so many classes together in college...our senior recitals were even on the same day!
I've used Laura's Sketch 23 and also the lovely challenge set by Lori at Use It Monday.
I'm fairly new to die cuts, so instead I've substituted something I REALLY haven't used in ages... Stickers! My old technique is the torn mulberry paper and the clearance items are... the cardstock stickers (MME), flowers, Victorian couple stamp... I think it's only the gems that were regular price but even those might have been from a sale.
Here's another view:

Smiles and best wishes to all,

--Kathryn
