When I think of invitations, I think of creating something that is simple, yet bold. Simple, so that it's not a huge chore to crank out a large number of them. And bold, so that it really makes a statement and grabs the recipients attention right out of the envelope. For this challenge the design team is working with the Soirees & Such stamp set. And to keep things simply bold here is what I came up with...
I chose to work with the elegant chandelier and let it really stand out. Stamped it three times onto the kraft card base in Scarlett Jewell and hung them from some rustic twine bows. Here's a tip: for a clean look on the inside of the card, pierce your holes (at the top of both the image and card front), thread twine through holes so that both ends are at the front of the card and then tie into a bow.

Have a great 4th of July weekend!
