it has just dawned on me that i have an enormous job with my wedding invitation commission. Until Rowan chose the design i wasn't quite real. BUT NOW IT IS

so i have 40 ice cream cones to colour emboss and pick out and 40 sheets of backing paper to colour. I'm not sure if i want to make all the elements separately and then construct the cards or if i should make complete cards one at a time. I have absolutely no experience of doing this type of thing so any suggestions will be gratefully received.

for those of you who have not seen the design here it is. the only element missing from this image is the wedding rings hanging from the flake

My advice would be to start with the most difficult or most tedious as that way you can take a break from them to do something esle but when you leave them to last then you really get fed up of them. I would also say start as soon as you can and try and do a bit each day so you don't end up rushing them at the end. Good luck and I hope you enjoy making them.

thanks claire i have a year to complete them

Unusual invitation, no doubt there's a great story behind it? Good luck with them, I bet they'll be fun to do. Just space them out, doing a few other crafts in between and I'm sure you'll have them finished well on time.
