BTS: SHANNON KIRSTEN x HALLMARK COLLABORATON + AN INTERVIEW

I'm so excited to be featured on Hallmark's blog Think.Make.Share this week! You can read the little interview on our collaboration and my art / inspirations in general.  It was so much fun to work with Hallmark on this collection.  The final printed product turned out beautifully.  You can shop these four cards just in time for Valentines Day at your local Gold Crown store and online at www.hallmark.com

RECENT WEDDING WORK + A FEATURE ON TOWN & COUNTRY MAG

Recent 'day of' stationery for a fun couple! I loved that they included their pup in the design and all the bright, pretty colors I was able to incorporate.  We printed individual menus, hand painted the 16 x 20 welcome sign along with 8 smaller hand painted signs for things like sparklers, cards, etc. I cut and painted the Mr. & Mrs. wood signs (plus two for their moms) to hang on the back of their chairs. All kinds of fun stuff for these two! 

THEN... Town and Country Magazine featured this crest design on their list of top wedding illustrators.  When I realized I was one of eight I was completely floored. I am so honored to be included in some amazing press lately!

RECENT WORK : FEATURED ON STYLE ME PRETTY EUROPE

When Becca approached me to design these bridesmaids cards for her girls I just knew it was going to be a fun project!  I made "Will you be my bridesmaid" scrolls and 5" x 7" London prints.  She tied them up so sweetly, inspired by British Christmas crackers.  The gorgeous photography is by Aneta Mak.  

We were featured on Style Me Pretty Europe and Floridian Weddings
