I wanted to share with you my latest order. It's a combination of two of my designs in my etsy shop.
It's my Lemondrop and Vintage Floral Damask paired up.
Stephanie & David (prefers to be called that) loved the love birds used in the Lemondrop design and the simple floral pattern in the Damask design. I was certainly challenged on how to make this work and come together seamlessly. The answer was in the envelopes. By printing the RSVP envelopes in the floral pattern and then lining it with the same floral pattern certainly made the two invites come together. She also chose very simple colors. I was working with Celedon and Coffee from my color chart. Her paper choice, Stardream Quartz, complimented her wedding dress and elegant vintage theme.
The fonts were also something new. She loved the fonts from my Orchid design (Chevalier font – couples names), so again the challenge was how to make this work since the fonts did not come from either set? Soon things took shape and everything flowed together. Finishing the top of the invite with a monogram tied the colors and theme together. Simple design techniques like using fonts on all the cards and using the colors in certain combinations made this invitation finally come to life. I have to say it's my favourite for the moment. I can't wait to post it for sale in my etsy shop!
