Any tech savvy brides/grooms to be willing to help me with a card?

This is a bit of a shameless ask for help. I've been trying to learn illustrator to draw my own design for a card for my hubby to be on our wedding day but I'm getting nowhere fast, its a lot more difficult than I anticipated!

I wanted to give Mr Compbunny a timbergram card http://timbergram.com/ with a tree on the front with a pair of shoes dangling from the branches saying

"Because you threw my shoes in a tree"

underneath. We were students and it was when I first realised that he might like me :)

Would anyone be kind enough to draw this for me?! I know its a big ask. Or even suggest an easier way to do it myself? Its frustrating because H2B is always knocking things like this up for his forum friends and could usually do this for me no problem :rotfl:

I might not get a single reply but its worth a try :) Thanks xxx

    I can't help I'm afraid but I've just looked at their website and that's a lovely idea :) Hope someone comes along soon who can help :)

    I can't help directly, but I made our wedding invites by messing around in Word. I would suggest doing a google image search for 'Tree' find one you like with a blank background and put it in a word doc. Then you can add text in a cute font saying what you want (quick tip, if you use a text box and change the border and background to "no fill" then you can turn the text box to an angle and get non-horizontal text which looks quite cute). Turn it into a picture by using the print screen button to paste it into paint, then some careful cropping to get rid of any extras - then you can save it as a picture.
    Officially saved enough to cover the cost of our wedding! :A

    Not exactly a card, but.... this is on eBay, it's made from a section of tree, might work??



    They'll write anything on it, not sure you'll get a pair of shoes on it, but the wording definitely.

    [IMG][/img]tree_zps47db7cc7.jpgHow about this - you may need to enhance the shoes a bit after printing
