A little while back now, Dan and I celebrated our engagement with a few close family and friends.
I decided it might be nice to design my own thank you cards for our guests so I painted a little watercolour of us both, scanned the image and then created and ordered cards through Vistaprint (extremely reasonable and quick as well!).
I painted us in the very outfits we wore that night! Only half the recipients realised - the other half must have had a really good night!
Very happy with the final product.
And now we also have a little piece of art as a nice memento of the night.
In other news, we had our engagement shoot yesterday!
Stay tuned!!!

Love this idea!! I am just starting to experiment with watercolours after years of telling myself I can't draw, and having lots of fun. Your art is amazing, and I love the fact that you've got an illustrated memento of the night. Cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Candy! Thinking I'll hang it amongst a cluster of other little wall hangings!
DeleteJust gorgeous Jane. I designed and illustrated my Wedding Invitations, Order of Service and Placecards - you should definitely plan that for your wedding, they'll be so special.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon! The plan is to do it all. It's six months out now and I'm thinking I should start so that I avoid any last minute panicking!
DeleteJane! You are clever, these are beautiful! Move over Rifle Paper Co. Looking forward to the engagement shots! lovT
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike Tina! That's where the inspiration stemmed from! I think I spotted them originally on Style Me Pretty!
DeleteP.S. Sneak peek engagement shot on the Facebook page ;)
What a fabulous idea! Very cute! :)
