A BIG Splash of Color!

Here is a suite I've been working on for a while now that I've finally been able to photograph. I really enjoyed working on this design. I wanted to design something a little abstract, not a particular flower per se but something fun, chunky and colorful! Together, the suite looks really attractive and reflects how much fun it was to design and work on it.

Exhibition at Paper n Stitch!



I'm very excited to say that I'm part of an exhibition on Paper n Stitch. I will be exhibiting for one whole month! So make sure and stop by and look at all the new stuff I will be posting. Today, I was chosen as a Daily Favorite so look for the little icon on the left hand sand right under the butterfly ring. That's my calendar! Definitely stop by as this is a really cool site with great products made by other passionate artisans.

A Change of Pace

As of late, I've been working a lot on personal stationery or wedding invitation designs and it was a nice change to step out of that and design a children's party invitation. This invite is for a Dance Party for two little girls. I'm pretty happy with the end result as the invite is young and fun.

MUMS!!!

I've been toying with a Mums flower design for a while and just wasn't happy with it. I kept tweaking till finally I got something I ended up really liking. To my surprise, my husband really liked these as well. He's always supportive of my designs but for some reason he really liked this one. So here's a peak...

Tweets Calendar

I've been working on something that I'm rather fond of recently, my Tweets! I've been working on a small calendar based on these illustrations that are so fun for me to do because of the charm and simplicity of these characters. I sort of came upon them in my sketchbook one night. They just came out of my pencil complete with their personalities. They're a pair of fun little characters that just enjoy all the little things in life. So I wanted to create a calendar that showcased Tweets moments for each month, so they can be enjoyed all year round. My idea was to print it in very heavy Strathmore Bristol that has a great texture so that when each month is over you can cut out the illustration and keep it. Essentially, at the end of the year you'd have a small collection of Tweets illustrated cards. I finally finished all the illustrations and worked on the calendar and am very happy with the way it turned out. The color looks great on the paper and I love how thick the pages are, I'm very happy with the overall outcome.
