Manhattan Flower Invitation

You gals were so kind with your comments, thank you! That really was a post so my DD could choose the style invite she liked best, but I thought I'd post the one she chose and answer a few questions people asked. 

I don't know what SAI stands for, but I know it is her music sorority at college. The rose is one of their symbols and she specifically wanted that included, so when I saw the Manhattan Flower die from Stampin Up I thought it would be perfect for this project. I actually had a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to incorporate music into the theme and then my colors had to be red, gold and white. I didn't have enough GG red ribbon so bought some of this style from Mike's. If you can see it, I used a liquid glue pen on the very edges of the roses and applied just a touch of glitter. There was a lot of drying time involved with this card because the gold craft ink, as you gals all know, doesn't dry very quickly, and it had to be completely dry to add the 'You're Invited' sentiment on top. The rose paper looks like saffron but its really PTI's gold, a very yellow gold with a subtle shimmer. And the prototype started with just white paper but it looked too stark for some reason, so I switched to confetti white, kind of gives it the look of hand made paper.
