When it came time to create the save the dates for our renewal celebration, there was no doubt in my mind - they had to be letterpressed. A quick sketch of Zion Canyon at the River Walk Trailhead was the subject matter of choice. A favorite song lyric from the Indigo Girls graces the cover.
“This world falls on me, hopes of immortality, everywhere I turn all the beauty just keeps shaking me.”
Now for the fun part; hand-water-coloring all 110 covers! I experimented last week first by adding a wash of water to several cards. Then I flooded vibrant shades of orange, crimson and green into the artwork. I love the contrast of the deep letterpress impression with the washy, magical personality of my juicy watercolor technique.
So, be honest - would love to hear what YOU think?

I think your save the date will be amazing, quite a job tho, hand-painting all 110 is not an easy task but SO WORTH it! the photos you posted look awesome!
I think they’re incredible. I plan to do something very very similar with our invitations. Not hand painting each one (though there’s an idea), but painting a mockup, and then scanning it for printing.
Absolutely gorgeous! What a labor of love! I can’t imagine hand painting 110 of them!

About Me: I remember drawing by flashlight way past my bedtime as a
young child – I never stopped. For me creating art is not an act but a
lifestyle. I am passionate about creating moments on paper, my
home, loving my hubby and believe you can never have too
many fantastic handbags.
Wow! Wee! These are fantastic! Totally inspirational!
