This Blue is Popular

It's pretty common for me to do black ink on a regular basis.  The next most popular is brown.  But to have this Aqua Blue twice in a row - that's pretty cool.  And it turned out so pretty.  Really nice finishing touch.
Aqua Blue script with traditional zip code.  Congratulations Andrea!

Now I'm off to work on Place cards - stay tuned......

Blue and Coral Letterpress

These invitations were blue and coral letterpress.  I mixed the ink to match the blue color for the addresses.  Very cool!  Congratulations Ariel and Eric!  Yes - the names are real. Can you find the Little Mermaid touch?  How fun is that?

Personal Note Cards

My sister-in-law is blessed with the creative talent of making cards.  She made these note cards for a friend who is getting married and asked me to put their initials on them. 
I thought it was a great finishing touch!

Two Love Letters and A Wedding Poem

Working on some odds and ends tonight until my next envelope order comes in.  Seems they have piled up a little. I enjoy breaking away from the envelopes every once in a while.
Two different love letters.  One is from California and the other Kansas.  I love it when the men contact me for things like this - so romantic!  I'm going to find matching envelopes for both of these and one will be sealed with a wax seal.  Very cool!  Both are 8.5 x 11s done on natural parchment in black script.
This is a popular wedding poem.  The Mother of the Groom contacted me to do this as a wedding gift.  It is also done on natural parchment, but with black Italic font.  Nice keepsake.

A Family Creed

I enjoy a break in the wedding envelopes every once in a while.  This is a Family Creed that I worked on tonight.  11 x 17 on natural paper with brown ink.  Wonderful family keepsake.  It was a pleasure.....

Once again, thank you for a job well done. God bless & best wishes.

Chocolate and Tea Rose

 
Once again, an excellent choice to enhance this invitation.  The colors are done in Chocolate and Tea Rose so we decided to do the Script Font in a chocolate ink.  Nice finishing touch!  Congratulations Christine!


"This was one of the easiest parts of all the wedding details.  I was so pleased (and relieved) with how easy it was to have our envelopes so beautifully done.  The envelopes were done in less then 24 hours!  While I know a lot of couples may choose to have their envelopes printed, we are so happy with the artistry of the calligraphy -- just perfectly lovely!"
