Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

I decided I wanted to ask my bridal party in a special way, with a "Will you be my bridesmaid?" box. A lot of the wedding crafts I am planning on doing is in the same style so it was good practice!

Supplies:

Boxes

Tissue paper
Roll of twine 

1 12x12 brown paper
1 12x12 beige paper
2 8.5x11 pages of vellum
Bronze embossing powder
Empossing ink and embossing tool
Tank tops

Paint chips in our colors
Embossing pen
Brown ink
Bronze Eyelet
3d Tape

Time: 

Took a long time but I loved doing it. Probably about 12 hours total.

I went to the hardware store and picked out our colours from the paint chips. I grabbed a blank one and embossed it with bronze embossing powder to show our accent colour. The top piece I wrote with an embossing pen and embossed it with bronze embossing powder too and inked the edge. 

Tied them together with leftover twine I had.

I designed their duties in photoshop and printed them on vellum:

Your look

I want you to feel completely comfortable in your dress so all I am doing is choosing the color and fabric and leaving the rest up to you! For shoes I am thinking simple beige flats. Don’t want those heels sinking into the grass at the meadow!

Fabric: Chiffon

Your Role

I want your role to be simple and stress free, all I ask is:

Show up at the bachelorette party to go dancing.

Show up at the welcome picnic and ceremony rehearsal.

Wear a pretty dress.

Hold pretty flowers.

I may recruit you for some artsy stuff in exchange for wine.

And most of all, I want you to have fun!

After printing the duties on vellum, I cut out the 
background paper, inked them both and stuck em together.

I tied these together with twine too

I made the t-shirt design in photoshop and ordered these for all the girls. 

Put everything into the box with some beige tissue paper. 

Her name: I cut out her name and shadow using my scrapbooking cutter and embossed the inner letters. The shadow I inked. Stuck it to the box with 3d tape.

Tag: I wrote out "Will you be my bridesmaid?" in photoshop and printed it on vellum. I inked the edge of the vellum and taped it to a tag. Inked the tag. Put an eyelet on the tag. Wrapped the twine around the box and tied the tag on.
