My soon to be niece called me the Friday before Mother's day and asked if I would make her wedding invitations 100 of them and I had 2 days to get them made. Over Mother's day weekend I made these. The real challenge was not doing them it was coming up with an elegant card in red and purple. I think I pulled it off.
I embossed the Mr & Mrs and the bride and groom in gold on the white ovals then die cut the purple frame and embossed the red layer. I can honestly say that I will never be able to say that my DH has not given me over 900 flowers at once as he punched out the red and purple flowers for me and several extras. I also stamped the invitation and rings and roses on the inside of the card.
Yes I love my soon to be new niece and my nephew and would do anything for them including make 100 wedding invitations in 2 days.
Thanks for looking!

Holy Smokes! You are a wizard or something! What a marvellous job you did on these invitations! I would take two days just to do the one card. You did a fabulous job in incorporating their colours. What a challenge that would be (as you said) to make it elegant. The gold embossed couple works perfectly to tie together both the colours and the theme. I love the square gems on the frame. You get the Aunt of the year award for sure! :-)

That is a lot of invitations to make, Lisa, not to mention only having 2 days to make them!! I think you have done a fantastic job - these invitations look so lovely and elegant and I'm glad you had your DH's help, too!!
