Rustic Wedding Save the Date Postcard

It seems like EVERYONE I know is getting married this year - I've been to 5 weddings already in 2014. Please slow down friends, or I will be completely out of money ;). But on a positive note, it also means I've been working on several wedding related projects and they are so much fun. I really love the "Rustic" wedding look that's popular right now.

This save the date wedding postcard was made to include the future bride & groom and their four (very loved) pets, two labradoodles and 2 cats.  The bride wanted a simple line drawing in the spirit of Life is Good characters. I drew them a bit more detailed, but still kept it simple and I really like the way it turned out. I just got my printed sample, and was incredibly happy to discover that the colors printed as vibrant as they were on my screen, and the quality was fantastic. I'm thinking of making this a customizable card option (choose how the bride and groom and any pets look) once I get my store section of my new site up, which is still a few months away but in the works!

Hipster Wedding Invitation with Mason Jar!

I shared a sneak peak of the caricature I drew for this wedding invitation on facebook last month, and now that the wedding is passed, I figured I should show the rest of the invite.

I drew this for an old friend who was getting married quickly, but had very specific goals for her invitation: unique, retro, & printed on recycled paper

While it would have been easy to make a flat 5x7 card and call it a day, this was their wedding, afterall, and I wanted to make something a little more special. I settled pretty early on a caricature of the couple, and thought it would be cool to have a little die-cut action, but didn't want to get too crazy, as I would be cutting them by hand. So I compromised with a modified circle shape which would fit the hands on the front side, and their heads on the reverse. The result was a card that opened horizontally, but still fit into a (recylced) 5x7 envelope - I was really happy with the way it turned out!
