a spring wedding

In december I finished off these wedding invites for a local bride who contacted me through Jane as I mentioned yesterday.

She was looking for a natural, not overly styled theme for her wedding this April, and liked the idea and ethos of the recycled cards I'd been making. I began collecting together images that would suit the feel of the mood board she showed me.

I also supplied some kraft brown recycled envelopes in case she chose not to write the addresses on the envelopes, and made the heart envelope seals using the offcuts backed onto adhesive sticker labels and punched with a decorative paperpunch.

I think they are pretty and just a bit alternative to conventional announcements - and each one is unique and different! I really enjoyed doing these and would be open to more design commissions for clients who want something unique and one-off to suit their occasion or business. I like the idea of combining and alternating graphics with a handmade style.

a winter birth

Another form of announcement! I did this little birth announcement flyer for a friend who wanted something quick, simple and on a reasonable budget to post out with her Christmas cards.

We chose a square format and I printed them out on Ilford photo paper, delivered swiftly and without much fuss - a bit like Sam!

and a new home card!
