So, now that that's done, time to move on to my next project...My baby sister's wedding! Being the Maid of Honor and sister, I get the pleasure of planning the bachelorette party! Nothing says "bachelorette party" better than bright, bold, sexy colors! So, that's just what I did.
Originally I had planned on incorporating her wedding colors into the bachelorette party; red and gold. But, the more I got thinking, the more I realized that we needed something that made a bolder statement. Red and gold are definitely cute for her August wedding. But, they just didn't yell "bachelorette on the loose" for me!
So, that is when I changed the colors--Black & hot pink--Perfect!
As always, first thing's first with a party~The invitation.
I couldn't decide which I liked better, so I'm just going to make both of them!
This was the first gatefold style card I've ever made, so I thought it was going to be a bit of a challenge, but it really wasn't. It is a standard sized card, measuring at 5.5" x 4" when folded. I used a black 8.5" x 11" piece of card stock for the card, which gave me 2 cards per page. I trimmed it down to be a size of 5.5" x 8" and scored the card, length wise, at 2" and 6". The cutouts were made using the "Tie The Knot" cricut cartridge. I attached the corset only to the left side of the card, so that it can open up to the invitation wording on the inside of the card.
I had a lot of fun making these cards, mostly because of the fact that I am finally working on my sister's wedding stuff....A moment I've been waiting for for so long! She is the last of my siblings to get married, and she is my only sister, so this is a BIG deal for me!! I just hope she loves it as much as I do!
