A Lazy Sunday that Produced my Save the Dates!

[Lekde]

So, I don't post here a lot, but I thought I would share my labor of love. I will be gocco-ing these in three different colors on ivory 80lb card stock. The best parts are 1.) they are costing me $63. for 150 of them and 2.) my FI LOVES them!! Now on to designing the invitations.

Thanks for the compliments.

To answer your question: No, I didn''t do the artwork, but I did compile it (if that makes sense). I photoshopped a few elements together and tweeked a few other elements that I loved.

To answer the gocco question: I LOVE my gocco. It is so easy to do and I have already made countless note card sets for gifts and such. The only thing with gocco is, is if you''re using more than one color sometimes the print requires steps. For example, this STD will require me to print the skyline first in a chosen color and then do the text when the 1st layer dries. However, not all multi-colored projects require steps, its all dependent on how intricate you''re getting and if you''re overlapping. Once you get the hang of it, its so great and the prints are beautiful. When I print them, I will post a final product picture.

Thanks again!
