With the help and advice from my husband, I made this tuxedo card. I went out on the internet and printed pictures of tuxedos and bought a Jolee’s tux sticker to study. I made a template and after a few revisions, came up with the final product. I water colored a rose for the lapel and used a craft knife to cut it out. The inside of the card says “Happily Ever After”. I really wasn’t sure what to put on the inside because I’m not sure if I’m going to give this to a male or female. It’s set for a female, but if I change my mind, I can always alter the inside by removing the panel and making a masculine alternative. I colored white pearls with a silver Zig Painty pen and placed them on the vest for buttons. I used mini black brads from Queen & Co. for the cuff links. I used a 5mm self-adhesive pearl for the tie tack. The shirt is made of white shimmery paper, the vest is silver shimmery paper, and the lapels and pockets are dark charcoal shimmery paper.
