Winter Wedding Snowflake Invitation

I have made a winter themed snowflake wedding invitation. The base colour is blue to match in with our wedding scheme. There is also a half cut out snowflake which overlaps the 2 sides of the card, as it is a central opening card.

Instructions on how you created the invitations, with any specialist tips:

I folded the card from A4 card as I required an overlap to create the central snowflake. Then using a finger end swivel cutter was able to cut out the snoflake. The other part of the design and wording was done using embossing powders and stamps. I then coloured in the main snowflake and placed on individual diamantes to add a bit of sparkle.

Details of the cost of my snowflake wedding invitations:
Approx £1.70 per invite. I dont have all the receipts as some items were bought whilst on holiday. We created 50 day invitations and 50 evening invites.

I think it took approximately 40 hours, they were quite labour intensive as individual diamantes were stuck onto each snowflake.

We bought the materials from the market (Cornwall when on holiday), Hobbycraft, Trago mills (when on holiday in Cornwall), craft shope (Elsecar).
