My mother-in-law has a significant birthday coming up... her 90th! Of course there's going to be a party to celebrate the milestone, and of course I volunteered to make the invitations -- all 21 of them!
I wanted to keep them simple (I know, like my usual designs aren't? :P) but distinctive. Embossing this ornate treble clef gives the invitations a focal point that allows the rest of the design to be fairly basic. (Well, in my opinion...) As my mother-in-law is very musical, it seemed quite appropriate, as well. A shimmery gold mat, a computer generated banner, and done! Most importantly, my mother-in-law is very pleased with them.
I'm going to add these invitations to this week's Simon Says Stamp "Anything Goes" challenge, just for fun!
Supplies: white & Recollections gold cardstock, Hero Arts musical clef, Versamark ink, pirate's gold embossing powder, 3/4" square punch
Pin It Now!

OHHH! I loooooooooooooooove this birthday invite! I LOVE everything with music!!! Happy birthday to your MIL!! I hope she enjoys her special day:) Psalm 118:24
Simply fabulous, Lindsey! KISS is super-important with mass-producing....I'm in the middle of 100 and I'm wishing I'd kept it even simpler! Love the white-on-white flag layer for the sentiment - and the whole design :)
Lindsey this is beautiful!
That treble clef is fabulous and I love the elegant touch of that gold matting.
Happy birthday to your MIL!
Yikes, with 21, I'm glad you went CAS (of course, I doubt you'd go shabby-chic). These are GORGEOUS! I love that note and the gold mat is so pretty.
They are gorgeous, so elegant.

Beautiful invitations.
I love that note (G-nøkkel).
That treble clef is gorgeous - love how you've let it shine!
I could've sworn I already told you how awesome these cards turned out...but I guess I did that in my head and not on my computer ;) They're great -- of course I love the music theme, and the gold-ness of it is perfect for the occasion!
