A Little Something

I threw this together today for the Tigerprint Love Typography contest. It’s all font-based, meaning, I didn’t draw any of it. The flowers are a dingbat, and I used a couple fonts for the text. I haven’t manipulated a font in a long time, so this was fun. :)

The blurb:

“My One And Only Love” is the title of a song that reminds me of my husband, who was the inspiration for this piece. I used a combination of bold and neutral colors, to represent the bright, happy times as well as the soft and quiet times in a marriage. The letters interweave in certain places, and stand alone in others, to represent the way our lives are intertwined, yet unique and different.

Beauty From Grandma Ann

I recently had the privilege of going through my Grandma’s things, preparing her for a big move. I was allowed to keep a few small nuggets, and was super excited to find these two gems in particular.

Check out that font! And I love the Little Golden Books-esque artwork.

The black on her dress is shiny black glitter, and her hat is debossed. The gold lettering in the “Happy Birthday” is metallic ink. Tres chic!
