Wedding Invitation with Candy

I’ve talked a little bit about my niece's wedding and that I’m going to design the invitations.

This is my first prototype. The names have been changed to protect the not so innocent (hehe). Other than the flourish stamp, I really like how it turned out.

It’s a gate fold card. The closed size is 5x5. I didn’t get it folded perfectly but I plan to get a Scor-Pal before the assembling party!

She didn’t really want ribbon but I think this adds a lot. I wrapped 1/4” ribbon around it three times and tied it then put the flower on top. If she doesn’t like it, we don’t have to put it on.

I made the flowers with the flower1 and flower2 cut on the Cricut George cartridge. I curled them up with the end of a paint brush with the flower sitting on piece of foam. The top flower is sprayed with yellow glimmer mist and it’s topped of with a little pearl. I made a couple of different shades so my niece could pick whichever one she likes.

As you can see the flowers are both on the inside and on the belly band (or belt thingy as my niece said).

The flourish stamp is an S.E.I. stamp that I embossed with iridescent embossing power. She wanted clear embossing but I didn’t have any. I think she’ll like this better anyway. If not, I’ll get some clear.

Here comes the candy part of the challenge. I’m going to be cruising the online stamp stores to find a flourish stamp that would look better. I’m sure I don’t know about all of the online stamp stores so I NEED YOUR HELP, please. If you have the time, go to the online stores you know about to find a flourish stamp. I would like mirror image corner stamps. The width of the outside strips are 2-1/2 inches. If the flourish has a heart or a musical note, all the better. The person to find one that will work will receive a little gifty from me. I just came up with this idea so I have not idea what it will be but I promise, you will love it. I will also include some stamped images for you to play with.

I was so happy this went together as easily as it did. I thought I was going to have to make a couple of different ones.

As luck would have it, this invitation fits a couple of challenges. Allsorts is curly and/or swirly, Stamptacular Sunday is wedding, and Truly Scrumptious is more than one fold. Three challenges and I didn’t even try for one!

Blessings,

Christine
