Skating Party Invitations

My daughter wants a skating party for her birthday, so I booked the venue and then set to work designing and creating invitations. I had to use older supplies from when I was a CTMH consultant, since I needed to be sure I had enough of the same papers to use for multiple invitations. The old Laughing Lola papers from CTMH seemed to fit the bill; they are just cute enough to make me happy and just Goth enough to make my teenaged daughter happy! It's a little hard to see in the photo, but I used a clear shimmer brush to add some shine to the wheels on the skates.

I also created another variant for the boys' invitations, since I figured they wouldn't be excited about purple and sparkles! Instead of sparkles, I used black pearls. Not sure which invitation I like more, but it was fun figuring out the details of each.
