Assembly of a Reception Invitation

Here we go, I decided to take pictures of the whole process of the assembly of an invitation!

Picture #1:

These are the stacks of papers cut to size

Picture #2:

This is the black piece. It is cut to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

Picture #3:

This is the Ivory piece, cut to 4" x 5 1/4" and sprayed with glitter spritz spray.

Picture #4:

This is the first start with stamping, I used a light pink first

for the first dimension of the

flower for the top and bottom corners. This is a 2-step stamping set. I

always start with a light color and add a dark one on top for the dimension

factor.

Picture #5:

This is a picture of the next layer of the 2-step stamping adventure. This is the darker color on

top to give it the shading on a cherry blossom.

I love the look that it gives it, but we are not done yet!

Picture #6:

This picture shows a technique called "ghosting". You use post

-it notes and stamp up near

the adhesive part of the note.

Cut around the image and cover the corresponding image on the

card.

Picture #7:

This pictures shows what you do when you ghost! Stamp over the post it and it protects what has

already been stamped!

Picture #8:

This is what it looks like when the post-it ghosts are taken off.

Picture #9:

Here is the piece with the sentiment stamped on it! Only one more step to go!!

Picture #10:

Here is the finished product with the layer of black behind the ivory! It's complete!
