I've been busy...honest!

Finished the wedding invites for a customer on Thursday.

I'm really pleased with the end result.

The CS is a good quality ivory linen from Southfield Stationers.

The ivory colour is very subtle. I don't really like cream, so this was just the ticket. It's much paler than cream and fitted the bill much better than the samples I put on here a couple of months ago.

Here's the main invitation.
The customer chose the font and layout. I had the task of transferring it to card. It took a while to get it all lined up and I wasted tons of card. It was well worth it though. I have kept the templates in Microsoft Publisher for future use.

Here's how it opens...

I used a slit punch from a Making Memories set. I couldn't use my SU punch, as I had to make a slit in the middle of the card. The customer wanted a RSVP card to fit in a pocket in the third fold. THAT took a bit of planning!! It was easy to accomplish though, once I sourced the envelopes to fit in the pocket.

I did the 'gold' by printing with the numbers 192,168,104. (This is the nearest you get to gold)! It worked really well.The evening invites were printed onto a straight A6 card with a 'gold' border all round. The same for the place cards. It was hard work, as anyone who's made a batch of invitations knows. The end result is worth it though! ;0)

Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know what you think. Comments are always appreciated.
