Bridal Shower

I don't just do weddings...I also do all the parties that come before and after!

Fun with Illustrator

In the process of deciding which designs I want to upload to my business site, I started to play around with ways to make them look like more than just flat drawings on a computer screen. Since I don't have physical samples to take photos of, my digital images have to look great. Here are two samples I did this morning.

Do they look professional? Does the fact that it's not a photograph of ink and paper detract from the design itself?

Tropical Leaves Invitation Suite

Yet another potential design for my Etsy shop...this invitation suite is designed with colorful tropical leaves. Perfect for a destination wedding, or a regular tropical-themed wedding closer to home. I can see this one turning out really gorgeous if printed on a pearl-colored shimmer cardstock, with matching envelopes. What do you think?

New geometric design

For the last few days I've been working on designs to offer on Etsy. Most of it has been garbage. This one, however, might just end up going on there. Shown in chartreuse (but also designed using hot pink, pale lemon yellow, cerulean and a pretty orchid color), this one's simplistic and modern. I just did an invitation and a matching response card. Thinking about offering other accompanying inserts and enclosures as well.

The invitation is A7 (5 1/8 x 7) and the response card is the standard size (4 7/8 x 3 1/2).

An envelope lined in the chartreuse color probably isn't a bad idea...
