The card for Patchwork Faces! Of course, this card hasn't been updated for the "new look," but provides a friendly, fun solution nevertheless. Printed on Curious Iridecents's Cryogen White. (Cardstock with a slight glitter to it.) Layout done in Illustrator.

Continuing with the comic-book theme of the wedding, we chose the cover featuring The Joker and Harley Quinn on a wedding cake as the wedding invite.

My husband and I are big comic book readers and fans. This announcement was printed (not pictured) on a dirty-looking paper which made it appear as an old newsprint comic page.

Please note that the front is a page from Spiderman, where Peter Parker proposes to Mary Jane. (Character artwork copyright Marvel Comics.) Layout done in Illustrator.
