V is for Val

February 13, 2008

Since I mailed these yesterday, I can finally post pictures of my beautiful valentine envelopes. The valentines are nothing special, they just say “happy valentine’s day” using a teal guache and a decorated capital for the vintage feeling. What I love are the envelopes. I used blue envelopes with the teal guache for my ink (tone on tone colors) and they turned out so well. The script is dexter.

Since the big sweethearts day is tomorrow, I thought I would give you a post on plantable valentine’s day cards from botanical paperworks. I love the combination of two things: beautiful cards and them having an alternative purpose that means so much more than a card – wildflowers! Plus they cost less than most of the cards in the store, coming in at $3.95, yay!

Newlyweds in New Mexico

February 12, 2008

 

I just delivered these envelopes last night to a couple with some of the coolest invitations I have seen yet. The envelopes were gold, treated with workable fixative and I used black ink with a pointed pen to match the font style of the invitation. I would call it closest to a cross between dexter, uncial and copperplate scripts – very unique. (below is a close up of letter comparison)

The return address was done in black ink with a pointed pen using the capitals script with a modern format.

This picture is of the envelopes with the invitation deconstructed so you can see the parts. The designer was Margeaux of Zago Papers out of Santa Fe, New Mexico . She uses beautiful papers with an organic feel to design the invitations. This particular set was so fun and stunning, I loved being involved in the process and was so pleased that I could help out my couple on the addressing side.

Snappy in St. Lucia

February 11, 2008

This past week I also had the pleasure of addressing the envelopes for a wedding in St. Lucia. This particular wedding was exciting for me because I believe it is the first time my work will travel to Alaska and England! Yay!!! This couple was great and I loved working on their envelopes done in black ink with the Citadel Script style. Enjoy the pictures.

Engaging Envelopes

February 11, 2008

This past week I had the pleasure of addressing the envelopes for a 50th Wedding Anniversary. The Invitations were adorable with the couple’s picture on the inside and the actual invitation printed in gold lettering. Thus, I got to letter the envelopes in gold ink using the Rook Script style.
I fell in love with these and know that the pictures do not do it justice because of the reflective nature of the gold! Enjoy.

WOW

February 4, 2008

I promise to have a real post later today.
However, I just found out that I was featured on the Blogger Hot List through my Google Analytics. So for the 59 of you in 17 countries who visited A Flick of the Pen on Friday, I just wanted to say thank you. I appreciate the comments and support and if you have any suggestions to making it better, let me know!
Until next time… Keep reading!
