    It is that time of year again! Holiday card time! I have been designing my own Christmas cards for a few years now, and the last two that I hand-painted have been my favorites! This year I was inspired by the song, “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” and the glistening of winter forests.

    I love snow days (I mean who doesn’t, right?). I love cuddled in a warm blanket on the couch watching the snow fall. I really have a zero tolerance to driving in the snow, so anytime it snows you’ll find me at home. Although I do love walking through the snow in the city. You know, before it gets all dirty and mushy. It is interesting because I am such a city girl, but I am also such a cabin in the mountains girl. I suppose this card was more inspired by my cabin in the mountains side!

    Also, it is a little hard to tell from the photos but there is some metallic silver watercolor paint highlighting bits of the trees, and the envelope is a lovely shimmer warm-white. Can’t wait to send these out to my friends and family this week!

  • Hand-Painted Reception: Inspired by Oranges

    I love the idea of having a winter wedding that has accents of refreshing oranges. It is so unexpected, yet completely seasonally appropriate. It really has a lighthearted sense to it also. I have seen a lot of pear-themed, apple-themed, and even lemon-themed weddings, but not really orange-themed weddings. I’m not sure why.

    An orange-themed wedding is certainly distinctive and expresses creativity. Did you know that the color orange actually stimulates creativity?

    The Hand-Painted Orange Invitation is now available for ordering at the Invitations Shop.
