kraft paper painted cards

I love to send out hand painted cards to my friends and family on special occasions.

Most of the time I forget to scan them in and just send them on their way, but I have managed

to get a few scanned in and thought to share them here. Obviously I have a thing for kraft paper!

 You might also spot my save the date - I painted each one and then stamped
them with a custom stamp I had created using my calligraphy. 

summer lovin

Not only did my boyfriend, Graham and I recently get engaged, but 4 of our dearest couple friends also got engaged this Summer! It’s the summer of LOVE :)  I wanted to send them all a little Congratulations card so I painted the appropriate word and sent them on their way.  Let the wedding planning begin!

Congratulations Typography

Today I’m been working on an idea I had last night. I wanted to combine my tiny watercolor floral paintings and my calligraphy togethor, to create orginal typographic artwork for cards and greetings. The bottom image with the white background is the original artwork I painted. I then scanned in the painting (my scanner is not the best unfortunately) and adjusted the colors in Photoshop. I think this is one idea that executed better in my mind than on paper. I’ll keep working on it, but what do you guys think?
