Vintage Flowers

I have been on a vintage imagery kick lately, scouring the internet/libraries/goodwill for old illustrated dictioneries and botanical guides. I found a few floral images that I love and decided to give them a fresh update with some punchy color in the form of some new note cards.

Bella Blossom

I am excited to post a new invitation suite that I designed and is for sale in my Etsy shop. I'm calling it the Bella Blossom invitation suite! I am loving the organic feel of the floral elements mixed with the clean lines of the text. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Flowers Flowers Everywhere!

Spring is in the air and so is the scent of delicious flowers everywhere I go! I thought it would be fun to honor this "midst-of-spring" weather with a couple new invitation suites!

Muscari Bluebells Suite

Peony Suite

Allium and Butterfly Notes

I designed a birthday card for my best friend and decided to adapt it to personalized note cards for my Etsy shop. Below are the three variations:

These can be purchased at www.inklingpaper.etsy.com! Go ahead and tell a friend (you know you want to)!

Spider Mums-Color

Below is the final version of the spider mums card that will be part of the donation to the Center Theater Group.

Spider Mums

Here is a preliminary sketch of the spider mum that I am thinking about for another graphic in my flower series. I am going to do another one looking from the top/side where you can see more of the inside where the petals curl in a little tighter.

Bulbs!

It is that time of year again; my favorite time for flowers. Two of my most favorite flowers are blooming right now: peony's and ranunculus. Ranunculus are my answer to the rose. Something about them is whimsical, like something you might find near a castle in a land far, far away. Peony's are like the love child between a rose and a feather. They are delicate, yet stout; these look great on their own in a vase or bouquet.

I went by the Home Depot this past weekend and checked out all the packs of bulbs for sale as I was thinking of growing some of my own on my balcony. Just looking at the images on the covers of the packs of bulbs made me feel like spring was in the air, a nice mental break from the frigid weather we have had lately.

I was inspired (in the Home Depot, no less!) and am working on a whimsical set of invitations incorporating these two flowers. Keep an eye out for them coming soon!
