90th Birthday Invites - Samples

I was asked by a friend to make custom invitations for her 90th birthday celebrations.

I put together two samples and met with her on today to review the options and finalize the details for the insert.

This sample features designer paper K&C Company - Classic K - McKenna.  It is a pad of coordinating patterns in pink, green and ivory in 12x12 size.

I cut a strip of the striped paper to 1.5 inches by 5.5 inches wide.  I wrapped a piece of ivory & gold organza ribbon across it and taped the ends to the back.  This was then adhered to the card front.

The accent is a pink layer cut from another sheet in the collection to 2.5 inches square.  The text layer was printed in Rose Red & True Thyme on a piece of warm green card stock which was cut to 2.00 inches square. If features a frame from Pixabay.  The accent was adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.

This sample features designer paper by Frances Meyer - Suzanne Nicoll - blue floral.

It features dusty blue flowers with ivory highlights.

I chose an ivory card base with the same ivory and gold organza ribbon. 

The accent is a scallop circle punched with the Stampin Up punch in navy blue linen card stock.  A 1 3/8 inch circle of white card stock then the text layer in ivory.  The circle text features a frame and the text in Night of Navy.

I cut the designer paper to 4.00 x 5.25 inches and wrapped the ribbon across at 1.5 inches from the top.  The ends were taped to the back.  This layer was adhered to the card front.

The assembled accent was adhered to the card front over the ribbon with 3D foam tape.
