I normally don't do wedding invitation design, but when the bride is my beautiful niece, how can I resist?!

Followed by a lot of sticking. (Love this 3M Scotch Advance Tape Glider!!)

Followed by addressing the envelopes and fulfillment....

...and finally the trip to the post office. Woohoo! For the addressing, I used a Zebra G and Holbein gold gouache, mixed with a bit of Schmincke Rich Gold powder, a bit of W&N permanent white, a touch of walunt ink, and the kitchen sink...haha. My photos don't capture the beautiful gold ink on the invitation pieces at all (PMS#8004).

ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteI love you - thank you so much for helping Josh and Morgan set the tone in making their wedding day beautiful, elegant and extra special. ox kjc
Absolutely stunning, Jane! I'm sure they absolutely loved them. What a special thing to do!
ReplyDeleteStunning, gorgeous, and more! The design will make a great impression on the guests. The artwork is wonderful! Perhaps doing a job for someone you love and someone who obviously appreciates your talent is the key for creating such a wonderful stationary suite! With this in your portfolio you will be requested by many! Give yourself a lovely cup of tea or piece of chocolate and rest that talented hand!
ReplyDeleteJane, wonderful blog. For me, it is a source of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing.
Wow, Jane! I am wondering why you don't do more of this work. It is absolutely gorgeous! and you printed them yourself too??? What a labor of love. I would do the same, though. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the cute couple!
Jane, dear...
ReplyDeleteYour niece is truly beautiful, but those invitations are GORGEOUS!!! As is your amazing lettering on the envelopes... I cannot imagine how much time you put into the design and execution of those stunners!!! VERY impressive, my friend!
