Proud Lions

The spring printing spree I've been on hasn't slowed yet. I made another new card design! This time, a pride of lions is lounging lazily under a tree. My favorite is the lioness in the tree all flopped out. The life!

This print marks the first time I've mixed my own custom color ink for a print. Gocco inks come in such an array that I've never needed to stray from using ink straight from the tube. This time I had a very specific idea of what I was going for. I wanted a 60s/70s cream and copper and goldenrod color scheme so I mixed an ink with 3 parts fancy sparkle gold, 1 part red and a touch of dark brown. I like it!

This card is available in my Etsy shop (as if you didn't know that was what I was getting at).

Post-Wedding Brunch

Well, Justin and I are back home from Connecticut where my Mom was throwing a big brunch for the family in honor of our marriage. We were lucky to have had a perfect sunny day and tasty food. Mom planned everything so I didn't really know what to expect but she did a fantastic job and I think everyone had a nice time.

Mom wanted me to wear my wedding dress again but I felt awkward about that. We compromised that I could change it up a little for the party. For the party I took out the tulle underskirt and put on a yellow belt and my yellow pumps for a more casual and spring feeling. Justin changed to a yellow shirt too. Matchy matchy!

Connecticut was fun but I am extremely glad to be home now because I got some glow in the dark ink in the mail that I can't wait to experiment with today! Just you wait!
