A lady who purchased a few of my greeting cards at a craft show last fall called me to see if I might be interested in designing invitations for her and her husband's 50th wedding celebration. I scanned a copy of their wedding photo and cropped it down to the size I would need to balance the front of the invitation. I chose four different printed cardstock designs and started tearing and distressing the paper until I came up with this design. I stamped the word "Memories" on one of the printed papers and attached two antique brads to the sides. I distressed all edges of the papers and photo to give it a vintage look. A small silk flower with a pearl center is attached with a tiny glue dot after the edges were distressed. I found a golden-colored organza ribbon that gives the card a little more elegance and wrapped it around the entire front of the card. The inside of the card was printed directly from my computer. The couple was thrilled with the results and originally ordered thirty invitations. A week later, they order an additional ten invitations! I am really proud of the result!!!
