{baby shower} invitations

My dear friend Sarah K is having a baby in a few months! As you will remember, Camille of the styLe handLer and I designed our other dear Sarah's {Sarah B} nursery last year, which we both posted on our blogs. We are mad designing again this spring for the arrival of Baby K with the commencement of paint this weekend. It's great having a partner in design crime to work with on these project {more to come on that topic in an upcoming post}. . .

In addition to developing the concepts for the nursery itself, Camille and I are assisting with some of the details of the baby shower, which is being hosted by Sarah B. Per the hosts requests, the baby shower invites were custom designed to fit the theme of the proposed nursery. It was fun to pull something together utilizing the concepts Camille and I have developed... Sarah selected a Safari theme for her room based on some adorable Dwell for Target sheets she found. I utilized the silhouette of the giraffe from the sheet print and overlaid a more playful and "grassland-esque" motif. The tone-on-tone pattern on the background of the invitation is a reference to some of the other geometric patterns of the sheet set. I'm happy with the way the card turned out and am hopeful that the nursery will be even more fabulous!
