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.

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!
