Wedding Invitations



I am a hobby card maker and I wanted to share some of my designs and get to know others with this hobby. The pictures are some wedding invitations I just did for my son’s wedding. I did white out personal stuff. I used white parchment vellum for the outer part and transparent vellum for the wording. I found a cherry blossom stamp and used blue ink. I have found out that it is better to use a brayer to apply the ink to the stamp than to dip the stamp directly in the ink (which can get messy). I also found that an artist gum eraser will remove bits of ink that get smeared where you don't want it. I glued the insert down with just a dab of clear glue and tied it with a ribbon.

My next big project will be a graduation invitation for my daughters high school commencement. I am also about to start planning Vacation Bible School with my church. We are doing a camping/hiking theme with the Friendship Trek curriculum.

Till the next time!!...
