AUTUMN HOLIDAY TABLESCAPE | INSPIRED EVENTS FOR OCCASIONS MAG

Priscilla of Inspired Events recently asked me to contribute a couple items to her fall table scape for a styling challenge from Occasions Magazine.  I was more than happy to create this menu in such an inspiring color palette.  These images really make me ready for Thanksgiving next week! Our table scape was chosen as one of six finalist.  You can vote for your favorite on Occasions Facebook page right here, simply be liking the photo (contest ends tomorrow).

SOFT GREY WATERCOLOR SUITE

I was playing around with some lettering and watercolor washes for my collection and fell in love with how this grey suite turned out.  It will be added to my shop soon and available for color customization (i.e. you can have the lettering and rsvp / liner watercolor wash in any color!).  I think the simplicity of this would look great with any color scheme.   

For this design I used all gouache paint.  I hand letter the original invitation and rsvp, then scan to make multiple invitations from.  The envelopes I hand paint, also using gouache.  

Visit Etsy to see more examples and request custom work.

Oh, and happy monday!

FALL WOODSY WEDDING PHOTO SHOOT

I recently created some custom paper goods to be part of this beautifully styled shoot by Best Photography.  I love the fall woodsy theme so much.  How beautiful is this location?  The pictures came out gorgeous.  I painted the wedding suite, map, leaf escort cards, and all the signage.
