First thing I did was get to work in Adobe Illustrator - drawing up a rendering of Andrea and Paul. I also drew an illustration of a map of Lake Michigan with Chicago (Andrea's home town) and Grand Rapids (Paul's home town) marked, and an X noting the spot half-way between the two cities, where they'll be married. Went to town in Photoshop, headed to Michael's Craft Store to pick up some pretty paper, and voila!
It has a very natural, beachy feel to it complete with raffia and letterpress stamped envelope. You may remember I used an "A" initial on Andrea's shower invitations. Now I used a "D" for their last name.
Did all the cutting and pasting while watching Bones, which I am very. very. obsessed with. I blame you, Netflix Watch Instantly. Thank GOODNESS there were only 5 invites that needed to be made.
I think it perfectly captures the feel of the wedding. And of Andrea and Paul.(click on images to zoom)
Those are seriously amazing! Love, love, love. So creative. I'm going to have to check out Adobe Illustrator and play around.
