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.

Oh my goodness, I'm just now seeing this! I cant believe what you've created here: It's simply fantastic! I've many times purchased jolee's stickers to recreate them, but nothing I've ever done has been this spectacular. Kudos. This is the best darn tux I've ever seen. Magnificent!
