A Sweet Invitation!

Ooooohhhhh, the weekend is almost here. A quick bridal shower invitation today. This is significantly different than the child's invitation I made here. I'm still using up my Bella Bleu paper! It's so elegant! The dress is cut from a Big Shot large scallop circle. It's difficult to depict, but I've placed a piece of tulle over the dress. The baroque design is clear embossed. I've used scraps for quick place cards and buffet cards - going gray for the buffet, not quite navy for the names. I printed the words from Word. Punched out with the small oval, layered on the scallop oval.
Vanilla 3/8" taffetta wraps the dress and a brad attaches the tulle to the paper. Again, I used a scrap to decorate the inside - a thin strip at the top (see photo above).

















Here's a side shot of the table topper - it's a simple fold, scallop raised above the top fold.

Sweet Invitation

The title says it all. Here's a great young-adventurer's birthday party invitation. I've also included a little paper cone filled with trail mix. The cone is stamped with the mosquito stamp (it's difficult to see them). Did you know it was acceptable to stamp on DSP? It's fantastic. Imagine these cones filled and resting in a basket for the little ones to grab from the counter or buffet line during the party. Make your own trail mix for the kids. It's much cheaper and you can customize it - add fruit snacks or mini candy bar bites.

If you look closely, you may also see a star or two on the Bella Rose DSP. That's not punched out. I took the negative image from an earlier punch out star for a mask and sponged these stars.

Inside message was printed from my computer, edges torn. I made my own 'you're invited' bannner, as I discussed in this post. I have some more invitations planned for the future - all with different styles and occassions. Anyone need a bridal shower invite (sans bears of course)? Sorry, check back later!
