These business cards are the inspiration for Greta's birth announcements. When I saw them, I immediately knew that doing a similar watercolor treatement on Greta's birth announcements would give them just the right amount of whimsy. Plus, my Mom (a watercolor expert) came to visit shortly after Greta's birth and I knew we could hone in on her skills, knowledge and supply of paints and brushes. Conor designed the text and printed off the invitations 7 to a sheet. Then we painted along one edge and let them dry (my Mom's were the best). Once dry, we cut them apart and mailed them. Each announcement is unique. I'm so pleased with the result. They really turned out lovely and the whole project cost less than $10 (not including printing the photos). Isn't that awesome?
Note: if you didn't receive one, please don't be offended. Having babies leaves me in less than my best head space and I know that some were forgotten on my "to mail" list.
