gouache & photoshop, 2012

Two designs I submitted for Minted’s holiday challenge.  I used goauche on the first and Dr. Martin’s watercolor ink in the second.  Hoping I have time to submit a couple more!

minted.com designs

Two of my original designs are now available for

purchase on minted.com.  Minted really has a great

selection of unique and customizable stationery.

I am always so impressed with all 

of the talented designers on there!

Save The Date & Sullivan Owen

This is a little Save the Date I painted recently. I was inspired by this beautiful arrangement created by a new florist in Philadelphia, Sullivan & Owen. Their floral designs are so dreamy and romantic, I’m in love!

Gouache, 2011

elephant note cards

A friend of mine asked me to create a custom personal note as a bridal shower gift. I thought it was a great idea for a bride or even bridesmaids. The recipient loves elephants, purple and blue. This was a really fun project and I like how it turned out. Maybe I’ll set up an Etsy shop offering custom stationery… all I need is a couple more hours in the day!

monogram mania

Lately I have been painting monograms for weddings and personal stationery. I like using watercolors to give them a handmade touch. Let me know if you would like your own hand painted monogram!

minted

I recently joined minted.com, and submitted 4 entries for their personal stationery challenge. Minted is a great website, where designers participate in challenges creating a variety of paper goods. The public then votes on their favorites, and the winners become available for purchase. Winners also receive a prize amount and commission!
