Some Simple Stationary

I planned this post way back in July and never posted it. 

Better late than never right!

For Brigadoon I decided that I would do cast letters,
for the whole entire cast.

All thirty five of them.

And since my cards were very plain I decided that but each one would have a custom water-colored background.

what was I thinking~ 

Well I trudged on! And I also remembered to take pictures! 

So here goes my first documented project!

 ~ I used ~

~ plain white "thank you" cards

 (the boring elegant ones that come in packages of ten)

~watercolor pencils

~And a nice wide paintbrush 

I started with some nice scribbles and lines.

For the one in the center I used a ruler, but mostly I scribbled.

then I added water. 

There's something about this picture that I adore~

just me?

alright...

they ended up looking like this in the end

They didn't change that dramatically. 

In fact doing it this way I think they become more subtle, 

But it works out well because they don't overshadow the words.

Which is what really matters, right?

Sadly I forgot to take pictures of these three with lettering.

But I did a few others that are real showstoppers~

who wouldn't love getting some love bird cats in the rain?

Harry Beaton that's who

SPACE the final frontier~ 

when I found a fellow Trekkie I couldn't resist this surprisingly easy Galaxy theme.

This was the easiest one that I did, but it's still somehow my favorite. 

Not to brag~

But that's a hand carved stamp that you see on the side there.

(tutorial to come?) 

Any-who~

Happy Holiday Crafting!
