I’m so excited about this!

My co-worker, Tory, asked me late this afternoon if I could possibly help her with her sister’s wedding shower invitations. She’d ordered 30 invitations from some bogus company (who shall remain nameless — honestly b/c I don’t remember the name!) and they never sent her a proof… let alone sent the ACTUAL invites. But they did remember to charge her card!

Anyway, she really needs to send these invites out on Friday.  Can I help?

Sure!

Normally I’d hesitate, but Tory knew exactly what she wanted and was able to provide me with copy within 5 minutes… so I was off and running.  She showed me the original cards she ordered, just for reference.

She said she really liked the modern look and how the border was brown — her sister’s bridesmaid dresses are brown.

She also said they’re doing a sunflower prairie theme.

So I took the sunflower prairie idea… the modern motifs…and a bit of my own style and whipped her up something in about an hour tonight.

Here’s what I came up with. I’m changing the font to the light version — my hard drive crashed last week and I lost all my fonts, but I can change it tomorrow at work quick over lunch or something.  I also fixed the sunflower in the upper right corner (part of the petal is missing).

I gave her 3 versions.  They went with the first version. The brown one was my fav, but I would have had to clean up the flowers a little bit.

THANKS to BittBox for the free sunflower vectors. I owe that blog my life, I swear.  Textures and vectors galore!
