Handmade invitations

Even thought the baby isn't born yet, I've started the christening preparations. We've ordered the church, the revenue and we've decided the menu. And now I've even got the invitations :)

I decided on a light grey for the cards and cut them out and folded them.

Then I wrote the contents of the card, the actual invitation. I went with a light yellow and quite thin paper that could easily be put through the printer.

Then I found a cute picture on the web, retouched it with paint (removed the pattering behind it) and just pasted the retouched picture in words. I printed it out on the same color paper as the invitation.

I like to prepare everything before putting the cards together :) I cut out the cute Storks with a baby, made some bows out of ribbon and cut out cute little pink flowers with a stencil. And then just glued it all together:)
