e-inspired pattern + invitation

I was designing a quick invite yesterday for a series of jewelry parties a friend will be hosting soon. She wanted something simple but with a decorative motif.

I immediately started playing around with letters to create a pattern I could use as the decorative element. My friend's name starts with the letter 'e' so it was easier than usual to instantly get some ornate motifs (versus using the letter 'i'). These are a few of the initial icons I created.

This is one of the patterns I created with the icons...

and another.

These are a couple of the invitation comps I created for her. The size fits perfectly 4-up on a letter-size sheet so she will be able to easily print these at home. Very budget-friendly, but with style. Now I just have to wait and see which one she chooses.
