wedding invitations on handkerchiefs

[heatherjeany]

Here's my first (ambitious) project using my Yudu! I was pretty nervous because these are for a client. I was prepared to scrap it and move to plan B if they didn't come out good, but I'm so psyched with the results!! I'll post more pictures once the other parts to the invitations are finished.

I love these...what a unique idea. You did a great job, I can't wait to see the other parts. What mesh screen did you use? How are they going to prepare them for mailing?

Are you kidding me! These are fabulous. I love their theme and your art came out so wonderful. Please tell me you used the 110? These look great, makes me want to have a wedding again. The detail really looks great. Good work.

Totally awesome!

Wow! Those are fantastic, heather!

GREAT JOB! THOSE ARE AWESOME! When you get some time explain in detail how you did them. . .what emulsion was used, inks, exposure time, how many you printed at once, you know all the juicy details.

Hey thanks everyone!! okay, so details.... I did use the 110 mesh (the 220 isn't available yet, right??) It's a 14 pt font, which I think worked well because it's not too tiny and it's sans serif. I used speedball ink and half of one of the emulsion sheets that came with my machine. I underexposed the screen by one minute per advice from Nalik (thanks!!) and it worked great. I printed 105 (phew!) and only messed up a few with my inky fingers. I'm currently working on the rsvp postcard using my Print Gocco. The handkerchief invite will be wrapped around the rsvp postcard and tied with a ribbon. Once I'm done with the postcards I'll post an update. The bride is doing all the assembly and she's going to mail me a complete invite assembled so I'll also post a photo of that once I have it. I'm super excited about these! Thanks so much for all the feedback!

That sounds very elegant and very cool! I can't wait to see what the final invitations look like!

Thanks for the details!
