Hi :) Welcome back !
Here is an Invitation for a 70th Birthday celebration. Along with the invitation cards I made a large size card in the same format for all of the family and guests to sign. There are a lot of techniques in this card and the colour scheme worked beautifully.
Here is an Invitation for a 70th Birthday celebration. Along with the invitation cards I made a large size card in the same format for all of the family and guests to sign. There are a lot of techniques in this card and the colour scheme worked beautifully.
Here are the products that I have used - Starting with Ivory cardstock I used Versamark and clear embossing powder with the 'Judi Kins' stamp to create the pattern and number stamps for the 70 which was also embossed. Tim Holtz Distress Ink for the colouring, metal paste for the bronzed shimmer, spellbinders oval dies for cutting and shaping and tonic corner punch for the edges.
| I randomly stamped the pattern with versamark and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I applied the distress inks over the top and this made the ivory cardstock really stand out. I applied the metal paste to the central are with my fingertips to create 'shadow' and make the Ivory 'pop' even more. After clear embossing and then cutting the ovals, I left the die attached to the oval and sponged the distress ink onto the oval - this created another border without too much effort and without having to cut another oval. Using the 'Tonic Punch' on the corners and then added 'brads' finished the edges. For that added touch I stamped the envelopes to keep the theme for the invitations. |    |
This was used as an invitation but could also be used as a birthday card. It could be made for any age and also made more feminine by using flower pattern or swirls and more of a pink or green tone - so many ideas - I think I need to go and play!
