Wedding Invitation Card (Merging of Cultures)

Hey folks!!

Today I share a card I had a difficult time thinking of ideas for. Since it is an invitation card for a multi-cultural wedding where the groom is from the sikh faith and the bride is from the christian faith. So I had the tough task of customization and showcasing the merging of cultures.

It has taken me a while to get the whole project done since the first sample I made got spoilt inadvertently by the spilling of adhesive :(

So I used the color scheme of maroon, white and gold because maroon is a happy color usually worn by brides in the sikh community and white is the traditional color of christian wedding dresses. To give the card a celebratory and ornate look the gold was added. I customized the cheery lynn wedding vows die cut so that the groom looked like a sikh and the girl a christian.

Here are a few pictures of the project which consists of a wedding invitation card with tags inside for all the occasions. There is also a coordinating envelope to go with the theme.







Supplies Used:

1. Cheery Lynn Wedding Vows Die
2. Spellbinders Fancy Tags 2 Die
3. Spellbinders Corner Flourish Die
