Disney Cards & More!

It's time to get the ball rolling on this blog!  I've been busy making cards, some with 3-D aspects, some just good 'ol fashioned digital painting (haha).  Figured it was time to share them!

This first card was for a baby shower/garden tea party.  All she asked for was for it to be filled with different shades of pink!  So I thought I would give it an "Alice in Wonderland" kind of feel yet keep it doused in pink.  So it became a Happy Unbirthday for their soon to be expected baby girl, equipped with all the tea pots and tea time amenities you'll ever need!

Here is the actual card minus their personal info!

Next up ... another baby shower card!  For this baby boy's card I wanted to give his family a piece of my favorite scene in Disney's "Dumbo". 

 

This image is actually 3 separate layers, the back circle, dumbo/tub, and bubbles.  He also has clear reflective water droplets on his cheeks but they aren't showing up in these photos.

And a lil closer ...

I absolutely love this card . . . I think I might make it again just so I can have one!

And yet ANOTHER baby shower card!  This time for a baby girl in October, so I decided to give her family a blustery day with Disney's "Winnie the Pooh".  The leaves on this card are separately attached to give it some dimension.

And now for a card that ISN'T for a baby shower, but a WEDDING!  I wanted to give them a lil romantic card so I put them on a swing, perched like two little love birds

And last but not least... a Birthday card!  I always want Birthday cards to be light and whimsical, so why not a sea horse blowing out the candle on his bubble cake!

Now to get to work on some new stuff...  I'm thinking about a couple little paintings of my Adventures in Domestic Life!  Cause so far it has been hilarious to say the least ...

Til next post... Happy Thanksgiving!

A Surreal Day In September

Wow it's been so long since I've posted anything!  I'd like to think I have an excuse... so lets see if this counts.  Joe and I got married this past September, and being the overachiever that I am bit off more then I could chew and decided to hand make a lot of the details of our wedding...

For starters here are the invitations I made!

Since our venue was outdoors under a tree canopy we wanted the invitations to posses the same Neverland/Mumford&Sons vibe our wedding had about it.  I've been obsessing about mid century design for a good year now and Joe has always been a fan of the aesthetics of the 50's, so wanted our invitations to have some of those retro qualities while still illustrating the ethereal undertones that our venue Wildwood Acres Resort is best known for. 

Aside from the invitations for our 150 guests (so much for the small wedding we wanted!) I couldn't find flowers that had the look I was going for . . . lets just say I'm a lil particular.  But can you blame me!  Plus on top of that I found out 3 weeks before the wedding that Joe's Best Man has severe allergies.  Even though he said that he was going to double up on his medicine I wasn't ok with the thought of sticking a flower boutonniere right under his nose!

So I decided to MAKE all the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres out of paper!  Everyone kept commenting on how nice it is that my bouquet was nice and light weight... no bulging muscles while I walked down the isle that day PLUS a sneezing free Best Man!

Now that I am slowly getting settled in my new life I can finally get going on all the art ideas I had swimming around in my head for months!  This is proving to be a good year!
