I've been MIA on the forum lately....been trying to get these darn invitations done! I think I bit off more than I could chew with this DIY project, as I must have spent at least 100 hours on them. Anyway, I'm pleased with how they turned out, so I wanted to share them with you.

 

My room block is being released in late March, so that's why I'm mailing my invites so early.

 

Thanks for taking a look! I'm so excited they are done!!

The layer behind the vellum is a handmade paper....almost like a fabric. It has wavy horizontal liness raised off the surface. It has a lot of texture...here is the link to the paper..Fabric Horizon - Wavy Line

The pocket fold actually came from large sheets of handmade mulberry paper. I could cut (make that tear) 4 per sheet and then I folded each one to make the pockets and used rubber cement to tack down the edges of the pocket.

Thanks for all the compliments!! I just had to share them after all of the time that they took. ...plus I thought you all wouldn't mind a little inspiration....especially those of you who are planning to make your own invites.
