Digital+stamped invites.

I have the happy dilemma of having crafted too much this week!  Sooo, I'm just sitting here wondering what to share with you today, and what to keep on the burner 'til Monday... and just  now, in this instant, the samples I made for a baby baptism are winning out :)

The couple asked for something feminine, floral, and with a spring-time feel.  Obviously, besides the little girl's name, all information is incorrect (ok, I think the church is real also, since I thieved it from a previous invitation I'd made for someone else... I seem to have tapped into this particular market...ha!)


I formatted the text, and simply stamped some florals from PTI's "friendship jar: summer fillers" set at the top, and the line strip from Hero Arts' "my happy" at the bottom.  A huge pearl gave it the necessary bling (we greeks, we need some bling on a card!)


This was her favorite :)  The text is a soft grey, with her daughter's name in pink.  I used a few PTI sets to stamp the pink and peach florals: "in bloom," "rosie posie," "YOTF: marigolds," and "turning a new leaf."  


































This one was my personal favorite.  I used a peach, pale plum, light blue, light green color combination and lots of different sets.  I even threw in a few snails from "way to go, kiddo!" - I love it *big grin*

Thanks for peeking, and have a great weekend!

ps, I must have taken 100 pictures of these 3 cards, and I am still not impressed with the outcome... sigh.  I should have tried photographing them flat, I think...

  1. Elena,
    All three invites are spectacular. The color combinations are great. I love the second one. The text in the negaive space of the die cut is striking. I also love thename in pink with the little flower/crystal bling.

  2. What a nice little business you have there. I love all three, and hope that the other two get selected next! I think I also like the third best, and love that little snail you pointed out.
