I just finished up this purple watercolor pansy flower for custom wedding invitations. Perfect for an outdoor wedding surrounded by a summer garden. Purple and lavender colors with a tiny splash of yellow.

A super sweet and whimsical flower.

Now available for your bridal shower invitations, thank yous, personal stationery, and pretty paper goods.

Nautical Prepfection!

This preppy color inspiration inspired by a recent painted watercolor bow tie illustration I did for our client’s custom wedding stationery. {View more of my recent watercolor illustrations!}

Light lime green, pink, and light pink with a rich splash of nautical navy. Perfect for a preppy spring or summer event. If you love to sail or be beside the seaside, this color palette is for you!

For an elegant nautical wedding look keep the navy as your main color and add a splish of pink and splash of light green as accent colors. Just fabulous!

Have a sparkling day and ENJOY!

Aloha! I just ADORE this tropical hibiscus flower I spotted at our local green house. Thankfully I was ready with my Canon camera to capture this beauty.

Bright yellow, light tangerine orange, bright orange, saturated bright tropical red hibiscus with a base of green leaves. Simply beautiful.

The Sarah Design hibiscus wedding invitation is a perfect match! I’ve been a HUGE fan of illustrating and painting hibiscus flowers since I started offering my invitations and cards online. The hibiscus flower fits perfectly with a beach wedding, tropical event, and Hawaiian wedding.

If you are going to use the yellow and red, be sure to not over do it. Remember, yellow + red = mustard and ketchup. You don’t want equal parts of each color. Just a splash of one then use the other as your main wedding color.

You can pair these vibrant hues with mocha, taupe, gray, black, silver, or gold.

Just LOVELY!

Pretty pastels with a splash of gold makes up today’s color inspiration! Light rose pink, peach, mint green, light aqua, and gold colors are perfect for a spring or summer wedding.

In the past few months I have seen a HUGE pretty pink trend. Super soft blush pinks paired with gold, silver, black, and/or grays.

I am truly smitten over Erica Obrien’s cake design. See the entire wedding cake in my earlier wedding cake post. It is just fabulous.

Designed for our NYC client, the original olive branch watercolor artwork is re-created with fabulous color on this wedding invitation.

Optional harmonious green and off-white twine wraps up this design in a hand-crafted bundle wedding guests are sure to LOVE.

The weather is rainy and dreary here today in Ohio. So today I am inspired by light pastel hues with a splash of elegant gold.

I stumbled across this GORGEOUS photo on Pinterest, of course. I pinned to my MINT GREEN wedding inspired wedding boards and have adored it ever since.

If you are looking for soft colors for an elegant spring wedding or event. These hues are for YOU.

Comprised of Minty Green, Soft Metallic Gold, Peachy Orange, Soft Blush Pink, and Light Mauve Pinks. Perfect for a wedding or bridal shower. So VERY LOVELY!

I hand-illustrated the lettering and vibrant flowers with watercolor paint. I then printed each original greeting card design on smooth thick white cardstock. Each greeting card is also hand-painted with sparkle. Colorful envelopes to match perfectly are included.

Today I am in LOVE with HOT AIR BALLOON COLORS. The colorful hues are perfect for a bright summer event. Vibrant and brilliant in color.

Brightest sky blue, cobalt blue, vibrant rich green, bright yellow, orange, and red make up this creative color scheme. I would use brown or black as the accent color. The first 3 colors I think of in this palette are sky blue, cobalt, and the yellow.

Just perfect for a BRIGHT summer party!

Introducing … The CHESAPEAKE BAY Design!

This Chesapeake Bay wedding invitation is an original hand-crafted custom design featuring my original hand-painted artworks. Beautiful shades of blue, navy, white, and pearl hues lends the look of a coastal collage. The soft pearl color background card layer resembles seashells found on the seashore.

Personalized nautical flags replicate the couples first initials on the reply card. Fonts, ink colors, and more can be customized just for you.

The tri-fold pocketfolder keeps your wedding details perfectly organized for your guests. On the right side the reply card and envelope as well as the accommodations card is tucked into the pocket neatly. On the front, a personalized card with a border of pearlized sparkle cardstock.

Bridal shower invitations, rehearsal dinner invites, save the dates, menus, wedding programs, table cards, name seating cards, thank you cards, and more are available to match your sea-worthy stationery theme.

The navy sparkly folder resembles the sea basking in the sunlight. If you REALLY love sparkle, we can hand-paint the blue crab with a bit of fine sparkle to add a handmade touch!

This design is customizable to match your color scheme. Create a new nautical look with an anchor motif, compass, sailboat, oars, and more. Remember, I am an artist and LOVE to help you express your unique personal style! Most times I already have the artwork you are looking for.
