The following is a wedding invitation I made for a couple getting married this fall.  They coordinated the colors of their invitations with their wedding colors which are platinum and merlot.  They chose a pocketfold style wedding invitation. The main color of the invitation is a brushed silver cardstock which I heat embossed with a floral design.  The complimentary color is called rich razzleberry which was a very close match to the brides flowers which are calla lilies.  I was even able to find a calla lily stamp for the tag on the front.  A platinum ribbon provides an elegant finish.

If you are interested in custom wedding invitations please contact me to schedule a consultation.  I would be more than happy to help you design your wedding invitations.

This is my submission for the may papertrey blog hop.  I created a wedding invitation using the papertrey ink set, "honey bees."

The wedding invitation is printed on whisper white cardstock and mounted on wild wasabi and so saffron cardstock from stampin’ up.

The blades of grass are stamped in new leaf palette ink, which is a very close match to wild wasabi.  The flowers are stamped in so saffron and orangerie ink.

The following is a wedding invitation I made using a new stamp set I just received from Papertrey Ink called, With Sympathy.  This invitation is double mounted on pink and green cardstock.  The floral vine design has been stamped using stampin’ up mellow moss ink.  The small roses are stamped using toile pink.  I used a pale pink satin ribbon to make the ribbon corners.  For instructions on how to make your own ribbon corners visit my tutorial page.

The finished size of this invitation is 5" x 8" I love the simple yet elegant design of this invitation.
