Birthday daisies

I made a birthday card for a friend who also has a love of bright colours, daisy flower shapes and 3D embellishments.

 

 

 

 

I got up early this morning to take photos which I'm going to turn into drawings. Nice to have a creative Saturday morning. Enjoy your weekend. x



All Aboard!

My friends Vanessa and Craig are getting married tomorrow. Vanessa asked me to make their wedding invite and she had the great idea of doing a double decker bus (because they'll be having one at the wedding) with a view of the village hall inside. They got them printed really nicely and this is the one they sent me. Right, I'm off to the Lakes with my big, orange chiffon dress! Have a good weekend all. x

Invites

A while back I showed a glimpse of some wedding invites I had been working on for a friend. Well, those invites have all been sent out now and I have taken a few photos to share. The invites included a card with the invite details, a map, an RSVP postcard, an information sheet, and the envelope to send it all in.

I hope you had a good weekend. I spent all of saturday in bed with a cold, then on Sunday I went for a walk in Regents Park. It's very fancy around there.

Wedding invite

At the weekend I worked on a friend's wedding invitation. This is the map I've drawn. I'll show the whole invite once I've finished it and she's sent them out. You can see that I was looking at RIFLE Paper Co. for inspiration (my favourite stationary company) but I tried to not be too inspired and to keep my own style.

I'd hoped to do 'At the weekend' drawings the last two weekends and didn't get a chance for either. Never mind. Hope your week has started on a good note.

All wrapped up

This weeks has been a little bit less about producing work and a bit more about lying down on the couch! A little rest after my shop update shall we say. Never the less I wanted to show you the packaging I made for the shop orders. I'm always so inspired by Sonia's packaging - every time I order something from her beautiful shop it is so thoughtfully packed with stitched fabric bags for the items to go in. I knew I had to smarten up my act and make something too. I made cardboard envelopes which are stitched down the sides and printed on the 'lid'. I puched holes and added ribbons. Now the items looks pretty for people who are giving them away as Christmas gifts.

ps~ have you guys seen Sonia's natural dyed scarves in her shop? I've bought two and they are exquisite!
