Funny Invitation!
Yesterday was my day off. It was lame. I hate it when I have just one day (night, actually) off... I get completely discombobulated. There was a lot I could have done with my free time, but I was feeling out of sorts so instead I moped. Actually, that's not quite true-- I spent a lot of the day on the internet researching different handmade card techniques. I came across numerous clever ideas, including pop-up cards, accordion folded cards, swing cards... One card style in particular caught my eye and seems to have potential: the waterfall card. It may or may not make a nice wedding invitation--- it isn't very elegant (in fact, the adjectives "childish" and "gimmicky" come to mind instead!) but it could be fun for guests to receive. It could also be dressed up quite a bit with high quality materials and a good, clean technique. To get a better handle on the how-to's of the waterfall, I did a web search and came across an assortment of instructional videos. I almost never spend time on sites like You Tube, but I have to say that it's a pretty awesome time waster! While I was there I stumbled across this video, and it made me smile (I guess I can relate to the plight of the bride-to-be!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyq26Q01bVA
