Homemade Birthday Party Invitation

Here is a birthday invitation that I made for my friend Colleen. She loves her purple, so that was a given to the design. I just wasn't sure if she wanted to see the Cottage Wall designer series paper. She spent the good part of 2009 making things for her sister's baby shower and scrapbook using that designer series paper, but she said it was okay. She said it would be good seeing it used for another occasion.

Here is the invite and the ingredients to make it:

Stamp Sets: Cheers to You, Fundamental Phrases

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Old Olive

Paper: Cottage Wall designer series paper, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White

Tools: Simple Numbers Sizzex, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle Punch, Scallop Border Punch
