With the wedding season upon us, I thought I'd share with you an contemporary idea for a Pocketfold Wedding Invitation using the new Tonic Studios Ornate Elegance Header Dies.
Card Recipe:
Tools: Tonic Studios Ornate Elegance Header Dies, Boudoir Square Base, Scallop Circle Layering Dies, Grand Calibur
Paper and Card: Stardream, Conqueror
Embellishments: narrow double satin ribbon, flatback pearls, crystals hearts
The beauty of this design is that the shape of the lattice heart header die makes it so easy to line up centrally, so I used it to die cut both the top of my pocket and also the pocket flap. I then threaded narrow double satin ribbon through the punched hole border and accented the central heart motif with crystal hearts.
I then created a coordinating invitation using my favourite die ever (but I think my regular readers know that!), the Boudoir Square base, with I decorated with flatback pearls, and then topped with the wedding invitation wording die cut with a the scallop layering dies.
Here's one final look at this invitiation set. Although black as an accent colour may not be to everyone's taste for a wedding invitation, I think it gives a lovely contemporary, chic effect. What do you think?
Finally, please do take a look here at my post about my friend Milly's exciting new venture, I would very much appreciate just a minute or so of your time to take a look.
Thank you and I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

ReplyDeleteA stunning an really classy wedding invitation. I really hope that some independent retailers will get the header dies after the exclusivity period although there are quite a few who do not want to stock products that are exclusive to C&C for 60 days, as they look just brilliant.
