Wedding Invitations for Ian & Jess





I have been living, eating, sleeping, and dreaming wedding stationary for the past three weeks and, as of today, they are IN THE MAIL!  The  wedding colors are lilac, dark brown, and cream. The paper used for the invitations was from The Paper Cut in Appleton, Wisconsin.  Paper colors were:  Kunzite Stardreams, Hera Stardreams, Echo (brown) Stardreams, Esse Espresso, and Cream Luster.  The swirl ribbon is from Creative Impressions.  The ink used for the stamping was Brilliance Pearlescent Lavender and Color Box Fluid Chalk Dark Brown. The stamps used were from the Fantastic Flourish clear set by Hero Arts. The invitation itself is the "V-Flap Formal Invite" die cut from The Paper Cut.  The printing was done by Karen's Print Rite in Waterloo in the darkest Pantone brown I could find.  The hand-lettering on the envelopes was done using a brown Gelly Roll pen.  The favors are made using an AccuCut die owned by my friend, Dena Rekow.  Isn't it the cutest thing ever?!  It will be filled with a small mesh bag containing Jelly Bellies in the colors of the wedding.  It's now less than seven weeks to the wedding and I still haven't shopped for a dress!  I would MUCH rather play with paper and ribbon than go through the humiliation of shopping for clothes, but I better get on with it soon . . . maybe next week, or after Easter . . .
