I’m pretty much in love with this invitation set, yet the designer is swamped and can’t take on more orders. That leaves with either the option of forgetting about it and hoping I fall in love again, or trying to recreate it myself. As of now I’m choosing option number two because I just can’t give it up. I figured if this shape in the picture has a name it won’t be too terribly hard to recreate, but If I have to draw it myself I’m doomed. So…does anyone know the name of the shape in the middle of the invitation card?

Very nice set. You can probably recreate the border look using regular brackets { } in the right font and then using a shape tool to make circles to connect the corners and erasing the rest.

go to deviant art and get the specific frame/shape.
Looks to me like it is: striped digital paper, shape, lines and text.

ok you need these templates: http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/quatrefoil-templates-collection-1
This paper: http://www.pixelscrapper.com/marisa-lerin/assets/ocean-stripes-blue-teal-white-paper-image-commercial-use-digital-scrapbooking-fr
Photoshop or some other digital editing program
very rough draft. I think with the papers and png’s I listed you can get a look almost identical to the one you are looking for.

ah crappers when I see the paper I linked you to at full size, it has a green stripe. But I am sure you can find a blue and white striped digital paper 🙂

Well you all are just simply fantastic! Thanks for all your help and suggestions! I’ve played around with some of the ideas you gave and so far haven’t had a ton of luck (a graphic designer I am not) but I’m going to keep trying!!
