Fabulous Beautiful You Party Invitations

One of my dear customers asked me if I could help her put together some invitations to her sister's birthday party. She had a specific design and stamp set in mind. The invitation is a slightly modified CASE of a card created by Michelle Carter. I love this layout!

Her sister's favorite color is purple. So, we changed the color to Elegant Eggplant. We also added a 75 and fabulous embellishment made by my customer on her computer's word processing program and then cut out using the Layering Circles Framelits.

The pattern in the dress and in the hat were created by stamping the lady in the hat's image twice - once on Whisper White cardstock and once on Elegant Eggplant Designer Series Paper. Fussy cut  the dress and hat from the Elegant Eggplant paper and adhere on top of the lady in the hat image on the Whisper White cardstock.

This technique is also called paper piecing. It takes a small bit of time, but it is definitely worth the effort! So striking!

On the inside of the inviation my sweet customer typed the party information on her computer and printed it onto Whisper White cardstock. We trimmed the edges to fit inside the invitation.
