Attempt number 3

With fewer straight lines. Slightly more exuberant.. Do I even need the garland.. could it just be flowers in the background?

Attempt number 2

Stll a bit somber looking. I wonder if I make the type a different color? Huh. Or different font type..

Maybe the bird has to be made out of kraft paper and assembled? hmmm Maybe the bird looks too sad?

Iteration #1 at invite

So here is the first prototype of the wedding invite. It's a bit busy simply because I had used the paper initally to test out my new stamps but what I'd like to do is to have this thread be a common garland that has flowers strung off of it. (not flowers all over the page, which is a bit busy here) what do you think?

I had a lot of fun with this. I really want to tie in the bird, string, and flower theme together. And at the same time have this look handmade, which i think i achieved. The ink here looks really
orange but in actuality, it is vermillion, and the yellow is a goldenrod. The bird should be in chocolate brown.
