These kept me busy and out of trouble for awhile. Lots of cutting, glueing, embossing & bow tying! A friends daughter is getting married and I asked if she wanted me to make the invitations as a gift. I gave her a few to choose from and this is what she chose. Her theme is peacocks with the blue/green the prominent color choice. I am not one for mass production as I don't like doing the same thing over and over. But, for a special person, not tough at all.
The peacock stamp has no name on it but may be Hero Arts? I stamped with versa mark then heat embossed with, what else, peacock embossing powder, then while still warm I added some psychedelic embossing powder and heat embossed again. The ribbon is from Michaels. And from a small flower shop in our area, as I ran out and this store just happened to have some. What are the chances? Something bigger at work there. I embossed with a peacock feather folder but it doesn't show much. I can honestly say I was happy when the last one was done. Now I just have to do 100+ favors, as I promised those also.
TFL. : )

I would say more than incredibly generous you are! I just had to go looking for the invitations in your gallery after I saw your wedding card. These are really beautiful and the ribbon couldn't be more perfect. I agree with you on not being keen on making the same card over and over. I'm not much for that either. What a labor of love here!
