Okay so those of you who pop by often will know I've been making wedding invites for my brother and his bride-to-be, well I can finally share them with you as the bride-to-be has given me the go ahead to share! Woohoo.
So pop over to Julia's Stamping ground to see everyone's spaces and to join in -
Right my desk, okay it's bare, but that didn't deter me from joining in cos I have those invites to show and some nails.
So the front of the invite, embossed with an Anna Griffin embossing folder, the plaque on the front is from Stampin'Up. The saying means a lot to the couple in fact they have it tattooed on themselves! As you can see the front flap is triangular which opens to reveal......
........the main invite and a pocket! The pocket is all embossed to match the front and holds the RSVP, an information sheet with times, info about the day and the hotel website. There's also a poem which is about the gift list or lack of.
Now we decided to be a little quirky and stamp this man and lady onto the back of the invite. I also made all the envelopes as the invite isn't a standard size.
So what do you think? I have heard some feedback from the first lot and everyone seems to love them and have remarked on them. Jen is telling everyone that Danny's sister made them!!
Now as my desk is bare I thought I'd share my nails that I had done this morning. I have a wedding this weekend so wanted them pretty.
Right that's me, will pop by this evening or tomorrow, got to sort our stuff for the weekend and rest at the same time!!
Take care Zo xx
Such beautiful detail on the invitation. Your work is truly amazing. Enjoyed my visit today. Diane #51
ReplyDeleteOoooohh! and Aaaaah! Fabulous invites - great idea! Poems about wedding presents seem popular these days - I suppose because a lot of couples wait to get married! Love your nails - enjoy your weekend! Chrisx 42
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning Zoe. Your description at the crop didn't do them justice. I admire anyone with the patience to stick on all those pearls too! Have a lovely time at the wedding xx

ReplyDeleteHappy crafting, Angela x #44
What beautiful work, Zo, so elegant and stylish. The Retreat was incredible. Those who have been to one before all said it was the best ever. With Barbara, you get really good organisation with everything thought of in advance. Her teaching is second to none and Paul Church makes a brilliant and patient second in command. Even those who are less experienced come out buzzing with ideas and delighted at what they have achieved through following her step by step instructions. We cannot show our artwork yet to avoid spoiling the fun for those still to come at the Retreats. Whatever else happens, I shall be braving the horror of the M25 next year. Have a good day at the wedding. xx Maggie #80
