HELP sourcing PETWER Card/Paper for Wedding Invites.

Hi all

Long long time on post on this forum and I even feel a little cheeky asking this as my first post in 6 months,

I've been asked/volunteered to do a friends Weddings Invites, and they've only gone and chosen Baby Blue and Pewter (Silver) as their colours for a November Wedding

Now, I've managed to find a perfect match for the blue, but have come to a dead end when trying to source the silver/pewter

For those designers of us here the HEX code is dbdbd1 or RGB is 219, 219, 209.

Any help as to where I can find/purchase this would be great! I've tried papermill website, ebay and hobbycraft but no joy! I need roughly 90 A5 (or 50 A6) paper and/or card will be great

Thanks again in advance. MODS, if posted in wrong forum, lpease move. I'm not touting for business, mearly a helping hand in a time of desperate need (my mate will kill me if these aren't done for end Feb!)

Kind Regards
Dave

    I have found pdacardandcraft .co .uk (can't post actual links) to be very good. I use them for all my craft card and paper. They have card and paper in metal colours.

    Yes, I agree with AStrocat. I took my DS1 and his fiancee there last week (it's near Nottingham Ikea) and we got the colours they wanted for their wedding invites including envelopes and all very well priced.

    They have a great variety of colours and textures in paper and card. Their website includes their range, and the ladies are very helpful if you want to ring them.

    managed to find this site after I posted this request. They're sending me a swatch pack (mini sample of each idea they stock, nearest to what I asked for), so hopefully receive that early next week.

    Cheers all
