I will keep this one short and sweet! I made a New Year’s Resolution to create new business cards. I need to start promoting my work for the summer decorating season. Here is what I came up with.
My friend Michelle recommended that I do rounded edges, which I may try on the next bunch that I order without the pink border. She knows everything about cute graphic design that there is to know. The fonts that I used are my new favorites. They are called Hammer Keys and Quid Pro Quo.
BIG news…our Save the Date is ready to go!
I gathered inspiration by many designs that I saw on Etsy, but ultimately Ashish and I designed this ourselves. I loved all the great letterpress out there, but it can be really pricey.
Our wedding will have a sincere, vintage, destination type of feel.
On Saint Valentine’s Day, historically people wrote messages or recited poems to signify their affection for each another.
Hand made cards were written on decorative paper and often contained a romantic poem. These early cards were decorated with lace, pressed flowers or ribbons to increase their beauty. This tradition carried on through to the 1600s.
I have been saving this papel picado for a few months now, my friends Mark and Sara buy it in Oaxaca, Mexico. Isn’t it fun?
I hope your Valentine’s Day brings something sweet:)
Last weekend, I cleaned out my art studio and got really organized. It felt so good to sift through all my artwork, that I thought would show the results! Thanks to IKEA, I sorted out piles of colored papers, old drawings and portfolios into a wide flat file. It’s possibly the best $100 that I have ever spent;)
I even found the time to frame up my rose watercolor. Here it is up close.
I love the Ribba frame from IKEA because they are so simple and don’t distract from the picture…and now, it is in my shop!
Wedding planning is coming right along and I should have the Save the Date design completed later this week.
