An Invitation to Happily Ever After :)

A doubly-lovely post for you today!  We're wrapping up our June Releases with a great set for those lovely occasions of love, marriage, showers....all kinds of events you might want to celebrate....and I'll also show you a new Invite PDF Download now available from Flourishes for $2.  It's blank for you to fill in and embellish for all the special times you want to include others in....baby shower, book club invite, birthday party, wedding shower....anything your heart desires!

First, Happily Ever After...

I had a really fun time doing something very different with the Blossoms Collection sets put together with Happily Ever After.  Remember the movie "The Princess Bride"?  Remember the chaplain preaching "wuv...twue wuv"....

The letters are from the Letters in Blossom set....and then I added the "True Love" sentiment from the Happily Ever After on the main image, coloring up the letters in black and adding color with Copics.  Then on the background layer, I took a cue from Ally Cope and stamped the Summer Blossoms images on white Flourishes Cardstock and then colored all the background in black.  I love how it turned out.  

This is how it looked before assembling.  As you can see I left a little bit in the center uncolored because I knew the main image would cover it.  Isn't that dramatic looking?  It does take time, but boy is it worth it!

I used this month's SFYTT from Jen Del Muro.  And embossed the Spellbinder's hearts as well as the black horizontal flag too - with Art Nouveau - Fireflies folder.  

Now for the PDF Invitation...

How about a little Garden Party at my place? :)  

I've combined this lovely invitation with the Sunflower set I love so much.  I've stamped and colored the image seperately (with Prismacolors) and then popped it up on the design combining it with the

June Kit of the Month as well - Sunkissed.  

I've edged the invitation out with Classic Scallop Edgeabilities.  

So, now you've seen all the goodies available this month at Flourishes!  I know you want it all!
