Jasmine e-mailed me yesterday and sent me some gorgeous pictures from her wedding!!!…so I just had to share!!!

 The top left corner is an example of what their invitation looked like!  Prior to custom designing Jasmine’s wedding invitations she sent me a picture of their wedding monogram.  Their monogram had this beautiful floral pattern in the border.  So I used that same floral pattern for the top of the tree and the corners of the response card.  I just loved how their invitation turned out! 

 I especially love the cake pictures!!! I cannot get over how cute that cake is!!!  I just love the trunk of the tree with their initials carved in it!  Also, love the rope with the response cards hanging from it! 

I also love the color combination…aqua/turquoise and orange….very unexpected…but just beautiful!

Here is thier wedding monogram…

I am loving how this is turning out….too cute!! 

 I added some red/oranges to the female cardinal. and also changed the rose on the bottom left hand corner and on the response card.  Also, overall the images on this invitation have better coloring than the last version I created…I thought that it was a bit washed out overall…this one the graphics are a touch brighter and slightly bolder…what are your thoughts?…do you like this coloring better?

 Also, I kept the red and white middle layer since you mentioned you liked that.  For the back layer of cardstock I used the blue shimmer textured cardstock that was used on the very first sample that I sent you in the mail….which blue cardstock do you prefer?

 Your invitation…

Your response card…

 I used the “dark blue matte textured” cardstock for the middle layer instead of the pink like we discussed.  The size of the invitation is 6 3/4 x 4 3/4….I made it slightly smaller than the 5”x7” invitation that I originally sent you…does that size work for you? 

 What do you think?

I am so pleased with how this turned out!…I just love the cardinals…too cute!!! 

For this one I tried a patterned red and white dots for the middle layer…

Here is another option where I used a white shimmer textured paper for the middle layer.  I also made the middle layer on this one slightly larger than the previous one.

I tried a gatefold with the shimmer tiffany blue cardstock that I had….just wanted to see what cardstocks would look nice with it.  Then I couldn’t resist to add a wrap around the invitation and a cute little tag!
