Princess themed Wedding Invitations that are also great for Halloween Weddings

19 Aug

An acquaintance I met wanted Princess themed bridal shower invitations made. She saw one of my wedding invitations that had a white dress with red trim on it:

Wedding Dress, white with red, I do, invitations card
Wedding Dress, white with red, I do, invitations by Cherylsart

She liked it but wanted a fuller dress, and she had described the bride’s dress without straps. The other thing that she wanted was a pumpkin carriage in the background, but no magic wands. Other than that, I could let my imagination run free.

I remembered that she also desired a Bridal T-shirt. I didn’t want just a rectangle image on a t-shirt, so I searched around on my art software and found a whimsical looking frame. Wonderful!

Then I got to thinking, this is pretty, and appropriate for wedding invitations too:

I think it adds a touch of enchantment. What do you think?

Know any brides? Please feel free to share. Thank you.

Kids Birthday Party Invitations, Customize Online

29 Jul

I love fun and colorful designs. I kept thinking about a confetti type design that would come out from the child’s photograph, so that they could be the star attraction. The final piece reminds me of confetti, and my daughter said they look like sprinkles to her. Either way, kids are bound to enjoy their special memento photo invitations.

There are easy to use templates to replace the image holder with your child’s photo, add your child’s name, and to fill in the party details. Each invitation comes with an envelope and matching postage stamps can also be found by following the product link.

Princess Bridal Shower Invitations

Some brides are thought of as a princess, when it comes to their weddings. Some even played the part of Cinderella when they were younger. Now they can have that theme carry over to their wedding shower with these fun Princess Bridal Shower Invitations.

An easy to use template form is on the address side of these invitations, for you to fill in with the wedding shower details.

Update: With the cute pumpkin carriage in the background, these shower invitations would also be a good choice for Halloween and October bridal showers too.

Four Yellow Roses, Our Wedding, postage stamps

12 Jan
My first thought was to create something elegant for a wedding. The next one was a of a postage stamp with a rose in each corner, on a wide black border.

I browsed through my photos of roses, and knew that for this a rose bud wouldn’t do; it needed to be a rose in full bloom.

There were a couple of choices, but the one that stood out was the rose with the group of three leaves. The leaves would be pointing towards the center, towards the message, or monogram.

I painted the wide black border. I painted the rose separately so I could paint it large and get better detail, and not have to worry about the black. It would be more impressive this way.

The black was drying and I worked more on the rose.

I fine tuned the edges of the black.

I added highlights and shading to the rose, and highlights, details and darkening to the leaves.

Aaah, at last, the two creations were to come together, united with the aid of technology, my computer.

One rose painted, previously measured out and angled so that the leaves would point center when turned in the corners. And so it was, with a click of the mouse, a new copy of the rose is made and the image turned. Four times, and sized to fit just so.

It is done, and now ready for you; for your wedding invitations or for whatever you would have it to be.

Our Wedding Beach scene postage stamps

23 Sep
The painting of the beach scene has been completed and is now ready on ‘Our Wedding’ postage stamps.
For now, I decided to publish the beach scene without an umbrella. I am making the umbrella as a separate painting. The umbrella will be a two color theme. The first one will be white and aqua. Then if anyone would like the umbrella to be different colors, it will be easier to change. Then I will add the umbrella to the beach.
Any of the designs that I’ve painted are ready for you online at www.zazzle.com/CherylsArt*/

The look of a child when their photo goes out on the birthday invitations, or perhaps when the child has accomplished a milestone – such as graduation. The special photo of the engaged couple for their wedding announcements, invitations. The married couple celebrating their anniversary. The happy senior when they are ready to retire, and more. Here on add your photo stamps on Squidoo are a selection of frames to choose from that are already on the stamps. Select the frame of your choice, then replace the image holder with your family friendly photo.
