Designed for my Best Friend this was a complimentary project, but a beautiful result! What was meant to be a subtle tribute to Happy Feet turned out to be a very elegant Baby Shower Invitation with matching Thank You Cards! Although the penguin image itself has copy write I am able to make similar invitations with just as much pizzazz and a image of your choice!
I used reclaimed invitations purchased from my local Goodwill store in McHenry,IL. The white background, and blue paper with flourishes were from packs of invitations that were partially used and donated. I was none to happy to reclaim them and upcycle them into these beautiful invitations. The egg shape holds a Stampin' up stamp, "You're Invited". The penguin image was purchased from http://deliciousdoodles.blogspot.com/2011/11/penguin-family.html and was printed on a laser printer onto white card stock. The images were then hand chalked with blue for ice and orange and yellow accents to bring life to the penguins. Very little paper waste was created during this project as the scraps were used to accent the Thank You cards and make floral accents on coordinating envelopes!
Green and Beautiful, the best of both worlds!
