A friend asked me to make her Bridal Shower invitations. I’ve got some ideas brewing, but she’ll have the final say. I made a few samples for her to look at. Keeping in mind these are invitations and have to be made in mass, I’m trying to keep things relatively simple and easy to reproduce. I’m not sure coloring each flower from Upsy Daisy stamp with markers is easy but I like the way it looks!
The card base is Cameo Coral 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ layered with a piece of Apricot Appeal cut to 4″ x 5 1/2″. The Whisper White layer was run through the printer and then cut to 3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″. Next, I stamped the flower from Upsy Daisy by coloring the image directly on the stamp with Stampin Up Markers. I used Old Olive and Certainly Celery for the stems, Pixie Pink, Cameo Coral, Summer Sun, and Pumpkin Pie for the flowers. If you notice, the flowers are two-toned, which I achieved by starting with the lighter color, then going back over the tips of the flower with the darker shade.
Here is a similar version I made, this time coloring the flowers each in a single color. I also added a Jumbo Basic 5/8″ Brad in silver to add interest to the top corner. Using the cropadile, I punched a hole in the Whisper White layer and put in the brad, then I adhered the White layer to the base using dimensionals.
