ok let's play w color

I posted this in 2011 but no one is playing w me!

You guys need more posts.

so...here it is.

ok so here's the color chart for invitation paper. I'm going to order samples.

hey I wanna have fun w SOMETHING.

My flowers will be oranges.

i'm thinking tuscan sun or apricot.

wanna play? any idea? I'm doing a card, not pocket-folds so they'll have a mat behind them.

I need 3 layers. do I do 3 colors?

Basically its a panel card w a mat mounted to it and the printed invite on top of it.


paper colors

Are you asking what three colors you should put in your invite?

I am trying to figure out what you posted

yes.

i'm going nuts.

this is for an oct wedding. I'm ordering samples bc I'm having a graphic designer at my job help me design them.

so...this is what I came up with.

champagne invitation on top of a milk chocolate mat (which is like a border) on top of an antique gold or copper backer board.

no?

i suck at this!

That sounds pretty, good choice with the champagne as the top layer so you can see the typing.

How are you having them designed? I love the fall leaves look! Are you thinking about incorporating something like that?

a graphic designer at work is going to help me. I haven't decided on the design at all. I'm just trying to get an idea so I can order samples of the paper and cardstock. I don't want to pay a fortune for colors that I know I'm going to ditch.

I totally see why no one is playing this on the 2011 board, I'm still staring at the color samples!
