Some days, I kick back and play with making table numbers. The size of them allows for me to work with stamps, inks, and card stock, differently than making a card.
I got a little carried away with this one. The idea was to create a French Market theme. It ended up more of a French collage with a shabby chic style mixed in.
This "Golden Chandelier" collection, I made for a client. The base of the table number and matching escort card is navy blue with an ivory top sheet. The inks are custom mixed dark blue. The chandeliers are hand-stamped in ultra gold metallic ink. I used two inks to create the aged effect around the cards. These came out so beautiful.
This was some of my first botanical collection table numbers. I did a two-tone effect inking part of the stamp in plum and part in green.
This is one of the most popular tent number images. It is a beautiful oak tree and the detail on it is amazing. The numbers are in a deep russet red and the tree is hand-stamped in sepia ink onto ivory card stock.
This is another French themed table number. This collage of images has a Paris theme. I used six different images and four different colors on these pieces. Gold, red, brown and black.
This was another "special" request from a client. She liked the black damask pattern and wanted me to create a coordinating theme for her favor tag, escort cards and table numbers. I used ivory card stock as the base and layered gold metallic paper. These were labor intensive, but came out really nice. I call this my "Luxe" collection.
Moonlight and magnolias are very popular here in the South. This botanical magnolia image is hand-stamped in sepia ink.
This was a quick table card I made for a client that was having a beach themed wedding. She like my little starfish. These little guys seem to be dancing across the bottom of the card.
Well, as you can see, I enjoy making these fun table numbers. It's easy as 1, 2, 3! Sorry, that was a little too easy..cheesy...to write.
For those in the States...Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
