{in a card's blog}: rebeca + braulio : wrapped up in love

welcome to in a card's blog...

i know that "cute" is not a word typically used to describe good design, but in my world, it is. if it's your first reaction to say, "aww... how cute!" then it must be just that! "C-U-T-E." and i'm talking about so incredibly, ridiculously cute that the most masculine of men will even say those three words without thinking twice about it.

and so that is what i hope to share with you on my blog...

a combination of really unique ideas, simple thoughts that come randomly into my mind, along with "cute" designs that i've designed or come across.

rebeca + braulio : wrapped up in love

it's been a busy year of weddings so far this year! my next few posts will showcase a few of the wedding invitations i've had the pleasure of designing recently. as always, it truly is an honor to be a part of announcing such a special day in two people's lives.

rebeca & braulio really liked the style and elegance of kari & michael's, "endless love", wedding invitations i designed several years ago, so their invitation follows a very similar layout. however, since all of my invitations are always custom made to order to compliment the bride & groom, i created a custom pattern and motif, used throughout the invitation, that i felt represented both rebeca & braulio.

the finished piece is a metallic silver & dark plum ink printed on a grey white speckled cardstock, mounted on a metallic plum cardstock with a silver metallic band to hold the postcard style reply card and an additional insert piece of information, all tucked into a silver metallic envelope.
