My lovely surrogate daughter, Jimena, is getting married soon, and an invitation to her shower arrived in the mail today -- a beautiful creation by one of her friends! I thought I'd show it here as an example of a stunning but simple-to-make invitation. There's a white layer that appears to have some black rub-on designs added to the top 1/3. This top 1/3 was run through a Cuttlebug to create an embossed pattern, and a pink gem was added to the center. The white text layer is matted by a thin black layer and a thin pink layer to create a stunning finished look. (The invitation was photographed on a black background.) Nice use of fonts and a cute saying, too! The whole invitation is clever and quite doable - and it all arrived in a business-sized envelope. LOVE it!
