small caption reads "He's still just so darn cute"

Batik Floating Flowers invitation

this invitation was a yummy tactile thing...i am loving the wax batik flowers on this paper.
 the natural frayed edge and layers are what i think  made it special.

Wood Shower Invitation

these invitations were on a lovely wood , layered with
a beautiful patterned cardstock, and printed on a
vellum with a tiny colored brad to hold it all in place.

envelopes were designed to compliment...
notice how the invitation layers are free moving, this
creates a whimsical design in itself.

little drink tags had to be done....cause i love the pattern
and textures.

BTW:these invitations were inspired by something i received a while back and just had to put my flair on it...too  much inspiration to hold back.
