will you be my bridesmaid cards [wedding diy]

i've been slowly working on wedding
related items. everyone who knows me
knows that i'm pretty crafty and whatnot.

i started researching different and
creative ways to ask my girls to be my
bridesmaids. i found these cute little
dress-shaped cards [many different kinds]
asking to be your bridesmaid on etsy.com,
i loved them, they were cheap
[around $3.00] and had a simple classic look.

i almost put in an order for them, then realized
1. i had all the supplies to make them, and
2. i really could make them. so easily! [lol]

here's how:

i needed a dress template for the cards.
i searched on google 'black dress template'
and found this:



i then copied this template on cardstock
in one of my wedding colors, so that way
i just cut out the little dresses.

i wanted it to look 'fun' so i added the ribbon
and drew a little bow at the sweetheart plunge.
then the girls names of course!


here's the end result!
i made four of them, but i gave them away
before i took a damn photo of them all together!
