Beach Wedding Invitations?

[Stef2485]

Hi All-
I'm looking for a cute, easy design for my wedding invitations. It's a beach theme so something with shells is what I'm going for. Any ideas??

I love the look of Summer by the Sea. You could use the stamp of the couple in each other's arms on the beach. Stamp it on WW or VV and color using watercolor pencils or crayons. Stamp a shell (Sparkling Summer has a nice grouping) on vellum like a background stamp. Print your invitations on the vellum and tie with a ribbon to the card stock. Or, print the invitation on the card stock and cover in vellum with the backgrouns shell stamped but no wording.

Here are a few really nice card samples that I think can make wonderful wedding invites.

This is a card I made for our anniversary - our wedding was also on the water so this stamp set was a perfect reminder of our wonderful "day on the bay." It includes a quote we had on our wedding program and shares our wedding colors of buff and blue. This set was a limited edition from one of the mini catalogs but there are similar sets available in the main catalog. Good luck with cards (and the wedding planning).

I agree with the Summer by the Sea set... I like the samples that were posted here, but if you are anything like me they are wayyyyy to involved to be mass producing! I received an anniversary card made with this set that was very nice and very easy... It was on lavendar paper, and the stamp of the couple in each others arms was stamped on the front. Instead of coloring the image, she toned some of the areas down with the bleach technique. Then she used the "Love" stamp from "Wonderful Words" and a little ribbon and voila!

I'm sorry, it's hard to describe!!! I'll take a look at home and see if I still have the card (I generally save all hand made cards but you never know!) and can post a picture...
