Inspired Wedding Invitation

I had a great time meeting so many brides today at the Ottawa Wedding Show!  There's so much excitement in planning the big occasion, it's contagious!  Here's another peek at a wedding invitation and table favour that I made for this show.

The colours in this 3x6" invitation were inspired by an Indian sari design I saw the other day. 

Recipe: Stamp set:  Baroque Motifs   Cardstock: Bravo Burgundy and brushed gold.  Ink: versa mark   Other: gold embossing powder, gold cord (retired SU) This invitataion has a pocket inside for a map or response card.  The triangle/pyramid party favour holds a treat for your guests.  I hope you like it.
