Natural Wedding Invitation
A beautiful natural invitation made with handmade papers and real pressed flowers.
Supplies:
-
paper trimmer
-
tacky tape
-
twin
-
spray sealer for craft projects
-
pressed flowers (the flowers can be purchased from www.greetingsofgrace.com)
-
Handmade garden flower paper cut 10x7 (handmade and mulberry papers can be purchased from www.papermojo.com)
-
Ecru linen cardstock cut 5x7
Method:
I first sprayed the pressed flowers with a spray craft sealer
found at my local craft shop (takes about 1 hour to dry). The flowers are
delicate, so without sealing them first the small petals can break off. The
invite and reception card were created and printed in black ink using MS Word
and my home ink jet printer. Adhere the flower where desired onto the invite
and reception card, insert the invite and reception card into the handmade
paper enclosure, then wrap with twine.
