    Romantic Lace Invitation by Hand-Painted Weddings

    Do you feel the romance in the air? The day before Valentine’s Day always brings a little bit of excitement as couples prepare for the next day’s excursions. This year my husband is planning a surprise night, so I am particularly curious and excited about what that could mean!

    Inspired by the romance this time of year brings, I designed a VERY romantic wedding invitation with a pink and red watercolor wash background, an overlay of white lace and wistful script text….oh yes, and a heart graphic adorning the text.

    The heart graphic may be too gushy for you, so this detail can be omitted if you choose to order the Romantic Lace Invitation. A little background on the heart graphic….it has a great texture that reminds me of two thumbprints making a shape of a heart. It was fun watching couples sign the Cobblestone Thumbprint Guestbook at the Lovesick Expo, because the majority of the couples signed their thumbprints next to each other like a heart.

    The Romantic Lace Invitation is now available to order in the Signature Invitations shop.

    New Zealand Snowy Mountains Watercolor by Hand-Painted Weddings

    Much of the Northeast experienced a blizzard this past weekend….but not Philadelphia. We got a mere flurry. It wasn’t so bad because I was able to attend two 2 hour yoga workshops and my first ever curling class (it was a blast!)

    To make up for the lack of snow in Philadelphia this past weekend, I decided to paint this landscape of the snowy peaks in New Zealand. My husband’s Aunt was going through her photos from her Australia/New Zealand trip a few weeks back with me and I was stunned by her New Zealand country photos. This watercolor was based off of my favorite photo from her set.
