Quilled Wedding Invitation and Paper Flowers
Earlier this summer I quilled a mat for a modern sage green and white letterpress invitation that features the Philadelphia skyline.
The bold lines of the block font called for a non-flowery design. I worked with leaf green and moss green quilling paper to create seedlings that speak of a new beginning, thinking that's exactly what a marriage represents.

As one who likes a bit of metallic shine, I added touches of my favorite silver-edged quilling paper.
The custom invitation was designed by Mekala Tinnin of Tie That Binds. For those of you who love paper flowers, I noticed Mekala posted a tutorial on her blog [edit: no longer available] for making this lush bouquet from old sewing patterns - clever! The flowers were part of the decorations created for a unique Oregon barn yard wedding.
