Invite designs

Hi there folks, I've been pretty busy creating things recently.  I'll aim to start posting more and getting you right up to date with my design work.  I tend to add lots to Instagram where I add sketches and working pics (including a few allotment pics - my other fav thing to do)!  I also add quite a bit to my new Facebook page , for my freelance work, so take your pick on which you'd prefer to take occasional peeks at!

Below are a few invites I've designed recently.  They are all hand-drawn (or painted), then I scan in the different sections and college them all together on Illustrator, with a little help from Photoshop.  I've now added them to my portfolio website which I'm currently updating too (very busy bee indeed).

Have a great day x

Design - floral bedding

These are bedding designs that I did last year.  I like the mix of strong graphic with softer watercolour and the black with the bright colours in Graphic garden, and the soft pastel tones in the meadow floral below.  I worked on them for so long, I was a bit fed up of the sight of them, but they've grown on me again!

Graphic garden

To create this design I hand painted the watercolour sections and then drew the more graphic flowers in Illustrator and then formatted it in Photoshop.  I'm sure there must of been an easier way!

Pastel meadow

I hand-painted the flowers then copied them into Illustrator file to create the pattern and repeat.
