I’m almost done with the passport invites for my wedding! Now, to do the covers…
Does anyone have any recommendations for gold ink? I’m assuming I”ll need a bright gold for the navy blue paper, but can’t seem to find one online. I have my custom made stamp…so the ink pad would need to be at least 4 inches long, I guess?
And any recommends on card stock for this kind of thing?

I don’t happen to know of the best gold inks, but you can use a smaller stamp and apply the ink to the stamp, so it doesn’t have to be bigger than the stamp. http://rubberstamping.about.com/od/gettingstarted/a/applyinktostamp.htm

have you ever heard of heat embossing? some gold glitter and a hair drier and it will be perfect for your project.
