This is the invitation and favor I put together for a couple's wedding shower hubby and I hosted last weekend for our niece and her fiance. The couple told me their wedding color scheme was navy blue, sage green and blush pink so I went with those colors for the shower as well.
I have to admit that at first I felt a little uneasy working with the color scheme the couple had chosen but after searching online for inspiration, I was happy to see how well pink cherry blossoms on a dark blue background looked so good together. It brought back memories of viewing
"Yozakura" or cherry blossoms at night in Japan.
I printed the invitation on a beige parchment using "Hello Valentica" and "Chocolada" fonts and matted it with gold foilboard and dark blue cardstock. Frantic Stampers "Petite Sakuras", Marianne Designs Creatable "Branch" dies and Punch Bunch mini punches were used to cut and piece together the branch of cherry blossoms.
I used the "Cherry Blossom Box" die from i-crafter to create the template I needed to make 45 of these favor boxes. I used Photoplay Glimmer and Bazzill Bling cardstocks to cut the boxes and gold foil board to cut the Chinese double happiness medallion glued to the front.
Petals on the cherry blossom were edged with Stickles glitter glue and I glued tiny topaz AB gems onto the stamens.
Boxes were filled with yummy Big Island Candies Chocolate dipped Macadamia nut Shortbread and Mika Mints and tied closed with a shimmery green organza bow.
