HAPPY VALENTINES WEEKEND

Wishing you all a great weekend and a happy Valentine's day! 

I know a lot people think Valentines is silly, Hunter and I won't really be participating because we have friends coming into town and it's his dads birthday.  We go on lots of dates normally so I think I'll be ok missing the long waits at restaurants :)  We also have our local seafood festival which always proves to be a good time with delicious food! I am definitely excited to get through this workday. 

Happy Friday!

STUDIO SNAPS : PAINTING IN PROGRESS

A few photos from my instagram this week (@shannonkirsten).  I've been working on some special invitation projects, new summery floral prints for my shop, and a couple of styled shoots.  

The above photos are using gouache and acrylics.  xox

RECENT WORK : THE CUTEST COUPLE // ILLUSTRATED INVITES

I recently painted these guys for literally the cutest bride ever.  Mary has been so sweet to work with and I'm honored to be able to contribute a little bit of pretty to their upcoming wedding!  

I used gouache for all the color on these and the lettering was done in ink.

CALLIGRAPHY IS HERE TO STAY

After much ado and many a request, calligraphy examples are up in my shop. WHOO HOO! 

These are simply examples and calligraphy does not have to be done exactly as shown, I was hoping to use these as inspiration and let you guys run with it!  The prices range from $2.50-$4.00.  I am also offering this service for place cards, escort cards, signs, and any other wonderful wedding paper items you can dream up!  Message me on Etsy or e-mail at shannonkcouch@gmail.com to inquire about invitation services.
