Hey! How are you all. 

Thanks for all your lovely comments- I've loved reading them all!

Due to being slightly intellectually challenged..I hadn't clocked that there were in fact 5 Saturdays in October ! So- without wanting to disappoint you, you've me for next Saturday too! 

This week; different styles of party invitations. 

First up...bold and bright

I thought I'd create some chinese lanterns in a night sky using The Party stamp set. It's such a great versatile set and I started off with a white card blank and added the yellow light areas first and then put in the black around the edges with distress inks. Add a little pearlescent mist and some glitter to add some theatre. The lanterns are simply coloured with Copics.

Next I'd thought we'd do more of a rainbow fun party card. I took my inspiration from one of the balloon arches you see at celebrations.

Using The Party set again with a semicircular acetate frame to add the balloons to.

I added colour using distress inks again. The balloons are actually super shiny as you can see below (oh and don't miss the extra sequin on the balloon where the card fell over whilst drying and the glossy accents stuck to the desktop !!)

Lastly, I thought I'd do a simple and delicate style- using stamped vellum. I've fussy cut the flowers from In Bloom: Addie's Garden

If you look carefully, I've used the tag from Essentials: Katharine Cutaways and on the tag, I've dry embossed the chevron pattern from Creative Screenings Scenery: V for cheVron Creative Screenings.
Hope there are some ideas here to inspire you a little when creating invites or cards for Parties.

  9. STUNNING cards Keren!!!
    EACH and EVERY one of them DELIGHTS and EXCITES - I think I will have to try my hand at ALL of them!!!
    LOVE the GORGEOUS background and lanterns, AMAZING inking and design!!!
    LOVE the FUN balloons and hanging sentiment, ANOTHER FABULOUS design, including the oops moment that added to the creative design. I find that my oops often "encourage" me to make changes that end up making it better than planned :)

  13. Wow! Those lanterns look great all lit up like that. And a balloon arch. Fantastic. Such creative uses of W&W stamps. And then there's embossing with a stencil. I must try that.
