This is an invitation I did this past week... the criteria was for a summer spa party (over the 4th) with aqua and white. She lives out by the beach so I wanted to include that in the theme. I printed the words, inked the edges and put them on a slightly darker card stock. The shell is from as stamp called the Postal Shell from Stampington & Company - there is a background to the shell, but I stamped with embossing and then sprinkled different distressed embossing powders - the effect actually makes it feel like sand. After I embossed I cut the stamp out and used dimensional tape to make it stand up more. The other stamp is from a Stampin Up! collection... I printed the inside of the invite from my PrintPro Shop program.
