This bride needed some simple, elegant calligraphy to carry her beautiful hand rendered wedding invitations to the homes of each of her guests.
I love the black ink on kraft paper. When I first started the project the ink bled into the paper because it was so porous. I ended up using quite a bit of gum arabic to thicken the ink so it would lay smoothly on top of the paper.
I also designed and hand carved a return address stamp for the reverse side of the envelopes. Address stamps come in handy, because your address needs to go on all of the invitations and all of the return envelopes for RSVPs (in this case though, the bride & groom had email RSVPs).
The following shots of envelopes exclude the entire addresses for privacy reasons. Not that I think you all are going to hunt down the names & addresses on these envelopes and surprise them with... chocolate chip cookies or something. :)
