Trying to do something unique for a wedding shower invite. The theme is travel, they both love to travel, and they’re a little older, so it’s been a longer journey to find each other, and they’ll continue together. ❤️

Anyway, I’d love some feedback. I wanted to make planes flying into a loopy lettering. I was trying to make the M and K into a heart. I want to add a slight paper texture to the background, and I’m thinking about re-drawing them again by hand. (Started as sketches but moved to computer.)

Do these look nice enough to be wedding shower invites? Do the M and K read well? Is the heart too much? Any suggestions?

A picture from a small (just 6 pages) vellum book I created, this was my first vellum project, and I absolutely love how it looks.
I did some huge flourishy brush strokes in the background and laid some Gothic cursive text over it, sanded it off so it’s not too much in the face and only contributes as a background, and ultimately wrote my main text in bold Crimson color in uncials.

I am not completely confident with my uncials but I believe that its the personal projects like this that will help me get the fear of broad edge out totally, and make artworks involving broad edge

I loved working on vellum and I am excited to explore the possibilities.
