Hello, my dears. How are you doing today? I hope the sun is shining where you are. Rays of light are peeking through the clouds here so I'm taking advantage of it while it lasts, shooting photos of some of the projects I've been working on lately. Today's project is one I'm particularly excited about because it's my first of it's kind: wedding invitations!
My cousin, Dani, asked if I would be able to design something for her and her fiance, John's wedding. I was thrilled with the chance and got right to work. She wanted something that was elegant and traditional with clean lines. She was also drawn to damask patterns. She told me that her wedding flowers are calla lilies so I decided to design a damask pattern around a single lily. The pattern was then printed across the bottom of the invitation.
They were so much fun to design but the best thing is that Dani was really happy with the way they turned out. Nothing could make me happier than that.
I'm currently looking to build my portfolio with more wedding invitations and would be happy to offer a deal to the next two or three people I design invitations for. If you know someone who is getting married and think they might like my style, be sure to point them this way by sending my an email at lilyjanestationery at gmail dot com.
Those are gorgeous!! I'm curious...what computer program(s) do you use when creating all your masterpieces?

Thanks, Lynne! I draw everything by hand, then scan it in to the computer and use Illustrator to finish things up (adding color, etc.).
