Trifold Invitation

Another set for my invitation portfolio. This set includes a Trifold Invitation, Place Card & Save the Date Card. This set is using the colour scheme from Justin's cousins wedding we went to earlier this year, they had gorgeous pale pink bridesmaid dresses with brown trim.
I would like to say with this set that I'm only claiming to be a cardmaker not a calligrapher, the bride & groom would either need to organise their own calligraphy or get me to print them off the computer, but I wanted to show that there is the handwritten option available.
Stamps: Together Forever, Baroque Motifs, Short Order Alphabet, Please Come
Ink: Versamark, Close to Cocoa, Pink Pirouette
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Silver EDP, Chocolate Chip Taffeta

So Shelli Creative Challenge #1 - Let's Celebrate Invitation

Shelli from SU! (I mean THE Shelli, who is Stampin' Up! lol) has started a blog called So Shelli & she has a Creative Challenge that she will be running once a month, the challenge for August is "Celebrate" (the theme for the US convention that just finished) and an idea popped into my head straight away so I had to play tonight.

I used some Real Red Gingham ribbon (don't you think Tart & Tangy and gingham ribbon are a match made in heaven? reminds me of homemade jam and picnics) I started this as a possible birthday invitation for Charlotte's birthday party (Can you believe my baby girl will be 1 in just over 2 months???), but I think that I want to make it more girly, this would be better for an older child or Kitchen Tea party maybe? I might have to try something with Berry Bliss & Pretty Princess, what do you think? Anyway here is the back of the invitation (or the front depending which way round you want it):

I've used the Summer Picnic DSP (again! are you sick of it yet? I'm not! hehe) & one of the Blooms die-cuts. I made the invitation "Long Notes" size, so it fits in a business size envelope (1/3rd of an A4)

Stamps: Tart & Tangy, Family Phrases, Family Favourites, Please Come
Ink: Real Read, Bashful Blue, Old Olive & Bold Brights SW Markers
Cardstock: Real Red, Bashful Blue, Summer Picnic DSP, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Blooms Diecuts, 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Real Red Gingham Ribbon, Fire Square Rhinestone Brads
