Yesterday, I literally spent the entire day designing this shower invitation from a sheet of vintage 1960s wrapping paper. Although the wrapping paper is in good condition, there are the usual fold lines and some slight discoloration. The main problem was how to position the little shower girls, who are scattered randomly over the paper, into one long line. Many elements had to be erased or moved, and body parts and objects needed to be redrawn. I use Photoshop a lot, but because my knowledge of the program is limited and my expectations are always high, it takes me forever to complete a project like this. Sewing is much easier.
Emily thought it was funny that I put generic information on this version — she asked me if I was worried that a bunch of random people might show up at the shower.
You did an AWESOME job! Love the vintage illustration and vibrant colors.
It looks great! I love the vintage ladies!
What a beautiful invitation! Why don’t companies make things like this any more???
You did an amazing job on this invitation. Beautifully done. You never know there just might have been a few 100 extra guests if the invitation was correct. Hehehe. 🙂
Lovely! I would be tempted to come to see all the wonderful aprons you made in person. Of course, I’d bring a nice gift! 😉
Beautiful. I am so excited about this wedding!
SO PRETTY! Love it, Martha 🙂
I just love your attention to detail. The invitation is just charming.
Of course you had to put up a generic version. I would have shown up with Tina…wanting to see your fun decorations and win one of those darling aprons!
; )
I got mine today! It is so cute! I love the early sixties clothes and the flowery rain and the Jackie Kennedy suits!
