  • I started off what a square box for my design. The dimensions aren't important because as I got further along in this design process I changed it in the end. But this will get your a base to start off with.
  • Next I went into basic shapes and plant and I chose a cute plant to put in the corner of my design.
  • Next I added the text that I want to be engraved onto my design
    • “save the date”
    • the date
    • the couples name
    • formal invitation to follow
    • You can also get creative and add the city especially if its a destination wedding!
  • Finally I played around with text placement until I got everything where I liked it. 
  • I decided my backing was to big so I resized it down to a smaller size.
