    I wanted to share in my completed invitations! I am partially relieved to have them finished, and partially sad that they have to leave me! I have been collecting the materials for so many months, and playing with fonts and formats for so long that I feel like these are my babies that have to leave me this weekend! I hope my guests appreciate them as much as I love them!!!

    I have layered several papers to get the look I wanted. I used pocket folders and envelopes from cardsandpockets.com - which I definitely recommend. They are prompt in shipping, and prices are great. I got this hand painted marbled paper (made in India) & the skeleton leaves from Papermojo.com. 

    A good friend did my calligraphy. We used brown ink, which I thought looked a little more vintage. I had an embosser made with our address for the back flap of the envelope.

    I used glue dots and glue lines from A.C. Moore and Michael's for my adhesive.

    I love the leaves you used to seal the pocketfold, personally I'm not a huge fan of belly bands or ribbons, and I love that you added something else! Cute!
