Greetings ghouls and ghosts, today Melissa and I worked on our physical invitations, we already sent out our electronic ones.
In keeping with our pirate theme we decided to give our guests an invitation to die for. The Black Spot. Read Treasure Island if you don't know what this means, or look it up on google. So first we started with printed invitations, then we added the BLACK SPOT. Here's a picture of me adding the cursed mark.
Next it was time to add the burn edges. Now if there are any kids reading this, DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE! With that said, I grabbed a lighter and got to burning. It worked better then I expected and all I ended up with was some sooty fingers. Next we made the envelopes, I made up a pirate pattern in photoshop and we printed them onto envelopes. I hope that the post office doesn't have to hard a time delivering them, I uses a scripty font. Finally we decided to seal our letters with sealing wax, old fashion, but it adds a nice touch. Problem was, we didn't have any seals, so what did we do, we made them. Melissa made a great spider web and I made a bat, we used the spider web. Here's a picture of melissa sealing the first envelope. So cheers, and here's hoping that the black spot finds you. ~ Chris
