Wedding prototypes

I've been meaning to make some wedding invitation samples for the store since now is the time I tend to see brides wandering in wanting to make their own invitations but need inspiration . Then I got asked to make some samples for a local magazine. That sure gave me a kick in the pants!

I decided to go with a grey, white and red theme for the first set of samples. Coincidently one of my husband's co-workers just got engaged and he wanted a congratulations card for the happy couple so I've used Karen and Greg as my bride and groom for my first set of samples. I even set their wedding date for May 15 although I was told later that they are getting married in Sept! I managed to make this congratulations card, an invitation, and 2 wedding favours all in this color theme.

The background for this card was stamped with Versafine Smokey Grey ink on grey paper. I completely LOVE how this background stamp stamps! Works perfectly every time which is not always the case with more solid type stamps. So glad I splurged and bought it.

I pulled out some of my new Just Rite stamps including one of the font sets to personalize all the items I made. Love it! I didn't think I would use the font sets much but I must say it has come in handy for a project like this! The set I used is called Myriad Pro 50 pt by Just Rite.

I matted my congratulations piece onto 2 Big Classic Rectangle Spellbinder dies. The flower is done with Be Creative tape and covered with Stampendous Chili Pepper red Fun Flock.

I didn't get a chance to photograph the other items I created today but hope to tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by.
