A Nutty New Listing

I've seen a lot of wedding invitations that have quirky portraits of the bride and groom (or bride/bride groom/groom, we don't judge here) on them. This idea is great and I love it, but I decided to take this idea and bring it to the next level of quirkiness. Maybe it's the fact that I spend too much time with Sam, my husband, that gave me this idea. One of his favorite things is animals doing human things. It could also be that our backyard is overrun with squirrels. Huge, giant, mutant squirrels that eat through our garbage cans because they just can't ever stop eating. If you combine those two things, you end up with things like this:

This little gem is something Sam created a few years ago, using a photo he took of one of the 2348972 squirrels in our yard.

Whatever the reason, the idea to draw the portraits, but replace the people with squirrels is just something I had to do. I'm pretty in love with the result and hope you are too!

Here are a few images of my process:

If you love this invite set, I have good news for you! It's now available in the shop (check it out here). All four variations of the squirrel are included in the listing. So, have fun, and pick the two that best suit you and your sweetie!
