Princess themed Wedding Invitations that are also great for Halloween Weddings

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:

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:

Color in Shirts – Elephant Outline

I love making designs that kids and teens and even adults can have fun coloring in, if they choose.

When I was a kid, I used to do liquid embroidery on table cloths. I would have loved to decorate my clothes too!

Here is my latest color in design of an elephant. It is shown here on a black tee shirt, but it can be ordered on any color and style of tee shirt of your choice.

Camel outline, shirt

Outline art – camel with two humps on shirts by Cherylsart
Design custom t-shirts at zazzle.com

I decided to add some more outline designs that can be colored in. I initially went hunting through my photographs for a picture of a monkey. Instead, I found a camel, an elephant, and a rhinoceros. So far, I finished the camel.

I think coloring in designs are fun. As a kid, I used to color in pre-printed designs on table cloths. Today, I try to pass along that creativity to others.

Color in shirts also make a fun group and/or birthday party activity.

Did artist demo for paint in designs

This morning I attended a local Parent group called Parent’s Place. The youngest kids stay with their parents in the parent room, while the 18 month – 4 year olds do kids activities guided by teachers. This morning I was the guest speaker for the parent’s room.

Being an artist that also has a Zazzle store, I offered the parents design services that can be printed on a variety of products, as well as commissioned paintings on canvas and such.

Another thing that I offer is paintings that their kids can do. Starting with a basic outline design that I’ve uploaded to Zazzle and placed t-shirts and aprons, the parents can order them and their kids can paint them in, and also add their own creativity to the design, using paint pens.

Paint pens are easily handled and parents don’t have to purchase additional brushes. I recommend the paint pens that have fine to medium sized tips. The ultra fine tips may have a metal barrel for the paint to flow down onto the tip, and can cause blotches of paint to come out. So just make sure the tips have the felt tip all the way.

Markers can also be used; however the marker colors can bleed into the fabric a bit more. The paint pens tend to make a cleaner line. The paint pens can also be used to paint dots with. Pointillism is a fun technique for kids to paint with.

If you would like to read more about color in designs, visit my Squidoo lens on Tshirts To Color http://www.squidoo.com/TshirtsToColor. The designs are also available on kids aprons, and some are available on canvas shoes by Keds.

Additional design requests are welcome.
