Simple Wedding Invite

 My Good friend asked me to print her Wedding Luncheon Invitations. This is a classic style that I pretty much used for my own wedding invites. I love clean and simple lettering for the information part (there is nothing more bothersome that not being sure of the date and time because of a fancy font). With Pretty fonts for the names. 

I usually NEVER buy vector art, but I really wanted a Peony and didn't have the skills at that time to make my own so I bought it. I was not sorry. I loved it. She loved it too. 

The name font is Jane Austin I think. 

I used Crane's Lettra, fluorescent white, all cotton paper and Papersource Papaya A7 envelopes. The Invites were 5X7 in size.

Sadly, I didn't even get to go the the party because of a prior commitment. I was being filmed for a TV show about my genealogy. The Generations Project.

p.s. you might note that the envelope in the photo is a little small for the invite. You are right I didn't have any A7 papaya around any more, so I just stuck a 4 bar in. I'm sneaky like that. 

Hell's Orchard

 I made these cards for Hell's Backbone Grill. They want to have an orchard, so I made these cards to sell for the proceeds to go towards it. You can buy some if you go there to eat, and not only get some cards, but help support local agriculture. 

The food is really, really good.

My friend Kendall helped with this project by getting all the envelopes for a thousand notecards. Sheesh, that's a lot of notecards to print. 

These were printed on Cranes Lettra (100% cotton) paper, PEARL WHITE. I like envelopes from Paper Source best. This set has chartreuse envelopes. 

I have no idea what color of ink I used to match. I think I started around PMS 611, then monkeyed with it until I liked the match to the envelope. 

The photo makes it look a little more yellow than in real life, but it is a very yellowy-green.
