Summer Spa invites!

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing OK. I'd like to say hello to my new followers and to say sorry for not having been round to see you all yet this week. I'm so hopeless, I don't know where the time goes!!

Today's post contains my Summer Spa invites! The week before last I had a spa day at my house for 4 of my friends. We had a beautician come over and do treatments on us all and chilled out reading magazines and nattering away. It was so much fun!! I decided to make invites for the girls as a little surprise to remind them we all had the spa day to look forward to and here they are....

I kind of did a little production line to save time so just stuck with the same design but varied the colours. They look kinda cute all together don't they?! :0) Click on photo to see closer look- more pics below!

So I used Spabella and coloured with usual mix of watercolour, lyra and copics. The papers are all by Cosmo Cricket- Delovely. I used a Waltzing Mouse stamp from their Frame It set for "you're invited" and the Papertrey Ink mini tag die and stamp set for the tag.

I computer-generated the little "what, where...."

I love these papers, they're so summery and I think they go really well with the summery spa theme, especially with that summery looking cocktail! We celebrated by having Peach Bellinis!

I'd like to enter these into:
DieCut Dreams- holiday fun
Papertake Weekly- anything goes

Have a fun and crafty weekend!! x
