An Invitation

This is a lovely set which can be used for a romantic celebration, whether it is a confirmation, a girly birthday party or something else completely. It is made in pink shades in Vivi Gade Design Paper which is also available in other beautiful pastel colours. Some of the parts are punched with a border punch, but first the text is written on the computer and printed onto the paper. The cards are decorated in a romantic style with punched out flowers and matching ribbons from the Vivi Gade series.
