Geeky Wedding Decor

I made a sign for my wedding reception (I'm getting married in 68 days - EEEE!!), and decided to publish it online in various places because I didn't want to keep it to myself.  I got the idea for the basic design from a pin on Pinterest by Offbeat Bride.  So clearly the design came from there, but I made the image myself, using a forest green desktop background of the Tengwar script and a font I found online called Kelt, which I've used for a couple other wedding things.

The Process
I cropped the image to the shape I wanted, inverted the colors, changed the colors to what I wanted, desaturated them, then added the words in a slightly darker color than the Tengwar script.  I made sure the whole thing was going to fit on a standard letter size sheet of paper, made the Tengwar layer semi-transparent, and saved the whole thing as one image.  (It's probably going to look like poo here because of the semi-transparent nature of the image.)

Here's what it looks like printed on paper:

I printed it on cream colored cardstock and threw it in the scanner to show Facebook.

And here's the full-size image, in all its transparent glory!  (Meaning it can be printed on almost ANY color paper.)

Also, a proper post will happen at some point.  Lots of changes.
