Engagement Announcements!

Sam and I finished making our engagement announcements. We screen printed everything and used drafting vellum as an overlay so they are fancy but still homemade with love. Heart.

Here is the front cover:

And here is what the vellum looks like without the blue cardstock underneath:

The colors are a little distorted on the computer screen, but you get the idea. Lovely, hand-crafted engagement/wedding announcements for the modern couple who like birds in trees and want the whole world to know.

This is the outcome:

And all three of them in the restaurant:

And here's a tropical/patriotic Christmas plant:
