Have you heard of split ink? I haven’t until a few months ago when I spotted some inspirations on Pinterest. Of course, I had to try it! Ombre has been such an influence in fashion I had to try it on paper. Perfect project came along and voila! The most awesome ombre gala invitations are here. They are slightly larger than standard invitation (A8) as I felt the floral illustrations and the amount of text needed some room to breath.

I designed the invitations to be printed with a split ink fountain using yellow and red inks which blended to a bright orange in the middle – check them out below, the results are stunning. To maximize the drama I  paired them with orange vellum envelopes and really love how they grab the the attention.

I’m a bit behind posting here but today I wanted to share the wonderful invitations for the wedding of Chelsea & Jamie. I was excited to be able to design their invitation suite, and I’m very happy with how they turned out. When Chelsea approached me about designing their invites she had a couple of basic ideas already in mind. She wanted to keep it simple, she wanted her colours to be orange and blue and she wanted to incorporate ferry boats and waves into the design. I took an illustrated approach and created this colorful nautical wedding invitation that’s a bit modern and fun with a fresh summer vibe. Because their budget was small, I had the invitations printed digitally on a heavy off–white stock.

Few months ago, I completed this fun save the date and invitation for West Coast Paper Company. I kept the save the date fun, bright and full of color. I am the most excited about the gold foil on red paper, which was also embossed. I had fun blingin this one out a bit – foil is my latest obsession and I’ll be sure to print foil again.

After spending the long weekend enjoy the sun, I thought I should get around to sharing this beautiful invitation. I designed it for the Symphony’s Maestro Circle Dinner – an annual affair that takes place at Maestro Schwarz’s house. Designing stationery for so many events is a perfect opportunity for me to try some printing that I haven’t done before, so this time I went with the combination of blind letterpress and warm grey ink on crisp white, heavy card stock. The blind letterpress is very beautiful but I wished I used pearl foil instead. It would give it a bit more shine and grandeur. I’ll definitely try it next time. And so far, this is my favorite invitation to date. Pretty, isn’t it?

Letterpress wedding invitations from Perky Bros

I’ve been admiring those beautiful invitations from Nashville-based creative studio, Perky Bros. The groom, Jefferson Perky of Perky Bros., designed these whimsical, yet elegant invitation set complete with custom lettering (aren’t the beautiful swashes of the Adobe Caslon Italic amazing) and natural wood elements and had them letterpressed by Studio On Fire. I love the cool monochromatic color palette and the whimsical, sophisticated yet organic feel of those invitations. Just gorgeous!

Gold. Shiny foil. Brown paper stock. Chartreuse envelopes with letterpress return address. Check! Check and check! I’m very excited to have my latest project printed. I was really worried about the fine lines in the floral art but it all turned out perfect. Yay! Now, back to another design… stay tuned. Lot’s of events happening at the Symphony this spring and summer.
