Plum Watercolor Rehearsal Invitation
In another life, I worked with one of the nicest women on Earth. Her name was Trish and she absolutely lived for her three sons. When she reached out to me nearly 10 years later to create rehearsal invitations for one of her dear sons, I was thrilled.
She wanted to keep them simple, but mentioned liking the watercolor wash that was on the cover of my calligraphy workbook. I created this soft, airy wash and paired it with a modern, yet flourished calligraphy style. I wanted the whole piece to be timeless and simple, as requested. .
As always, I love the way hand painted invitations print on this rich, subtly textured paper. It perfectly mimics the look of the same watercolor paper my designs are originally painted on.
Happy Wedding day, Christina and Drew! Wishing this sweet couple many, many years of happiness! ...And lots and lots of babies for Trish to snuggle.
Wedding Map Illustration
After years in hiatus with my three little ones, it's been so fun to get my hands messy and to start taking on design work again. I especially love creating wedding maps. So much more than a piece of paper, they are an illustration of an entire love story.
In simple black and white, this little piece of paper is filled with intimate details about a soccer playing chemist who fell in love with an Airforce Captain, got married in the most beautiful spot, and moved away together for a dream job with NASA.
The framed print now hanging in their home is proof that less is more, dreams do come true, and that home is really where the heart is.
