Wedding Themed! Artist: Inkylivie

So, last year I was running around in all my madness planning for my late summer wedding. I was crazy enough to think I could do everything myself since I was only working part time. Boy was I wrong! Pay for the planner...trust me :)

Anyways...since I was a graphic

design graduate, I thought the invites would be my forte. Yeah...so, I'm a perfectionist and also not having access to the wonderful printing labs my high tech college had available to me, I spent hours creating my invitations (with most of my time in the final production process - i.e. printing).

Don't be like me! Have someone else do it! Like this wonderful etsy seller....inkylivie.

You have to agree these designs are divine! ...and definitely worth every penny. I've seen invitations at up to $36 each!?! in some popular wedding mags. What I like is that they aren't the standard white and ivory cookie cutter invites! Plus, the colors are so vibrant. Now doesn't that represent the union of two loves the best?...with brilliant, lively colors!!

Kudos inkylivie for kicking up blasé wedding invitations!

A few of my favs....

Featured Artist of the Week

For my first featured artist I had to go bold and extreme and this gal certainly covers both. With bold patterned backgrounds and even bolder anthropods. That's right! She features fabulous insects in her designs!

Beautifully arranged in wonderful shadow boxes, you will surely love these creations and want to hang them in that perfect spot on your wall.

See more of aquakej's work on etsy.com! There are more fabulous butterflies, beetles and other insects that will amaze you!
