I created the petal program with a rhinestone buckle detail – so gorgeous!!

I adore this collection!  The table number has a lovely profile (skinny and tall).  I added the large rhinestone buckle.  Each piece features varying painted details for added interest.  I created a petite fan program that is sophisticated and functional.

I am not sure how I would even decide but the buckle version is soooo pretty!

This look is all about texture, organic shapes, vibrant pops of color.  The two damask patterns could be re-drawn with slimmer, more graceful, sletchy lines, but I do love the feel in general.

I had a blast with this!  A new damask illustration was created then painted in shades of red, gold and creamy ivory.  The double layer buckle adds a vintage flair and loads of texture and personality.  The folio is a rich chocolate but can be made in custom shades of gold like discussed.

I experimented with a champagne shimmer top layer to see the hand painting on the orchids and peonies really pop!

The peony illustration is so romantic and feminine!

Detailed ostrich feather illustrations and the lush hand-painted peony really compliment eachother nicely.  The feathers are sketched into the design to give a better idea of placement for future letterpress printing.  I added a rich raspberry outermost border which warms the look overall!

Again, I had a blast with your sample.  The peony on black is stunning!  I completely hand-painted the look with shades of raspberry and purples.  The invite is scalloped and finished with a hand-painted dot border.  See what people had to say when I shared your design on Twitter! Hope you don’t mind!

So I am hoping you don’t mind but I had some FUN with your first sample.  I love experimenting!  I used several shades of deep purple both shimmering and non.  Hand-painted strokes of color are plentiful in this custom peony damask illustration I created for you.

I also added a touch of black fringe for that edgy feel we discussed! Enjoy!
