Wedding Wishes...

... For my friends Kelly and Chris.


Here's a look at the wedding invitations I've been making for them. They are incorporating Gerbera Daisies and the colors of browns and orange. So, we found the flowers from Petal Prints and the Chocolate Chip and Really Rust with the Confetti Cream Paper to accent.




On the front, we are using a 3" x 4" black and white, matte finish photo, itself being matted with our confetti cream paper, torn around the edges.

Inside, they had chosen a quote to use on the top half of the open card which reads: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the places and moments that take our breath away" --anonymous (So true!!)

I really like the rough edges, done by the paper tearing. Hint: if you tear the paper upwards toward you, you get a rougher more natural look. It's easy, fun and looks great. And finishing it off, is a Petal Prints flower outlined in Chocolate Chip Craft Ink (to give it a solid chocolate chip look) on Really Rust Paper. It sits above the paper on a Stampin' Dimensional, which lets it really pop off the page.

Thanks for letting me make your invitations for you both Kelly and Chris. All my best to you on your Special Day!

Hope you are having a great weekend with family and those that you love! Yes, spring and love are both in the air!
