Clip Art Search

I'm currently working on some Christmas stuff and have been looking for some clip art.  I ran across this image on The Graphics Fairy.  On first glance, I thought the angel on the left had just punched the angel on the right in the face.  Peace and joy!

Monsters and Witches

This next Halloween party has a cute monster theme.  My friend Deb drew most of the monsters, I added a jack-o-lantern and a witch.

I think they're so cute!

I used one of the patterns from Graphics Fairy again, 

but changed the colors to shades of yellow.  You can see it in the background of the invitation.

The third party is what I call the Pretty Witch party.  I wanted something a little girly, so I imagined a witch who likes shoes and pretty accessories.  I drew all of the illustrations in Illustrator.  I also used a damask pattern that I drew a while back for something else and used a purple color scheme.

The potion bottles on the left on the invitation were modeled after some perfume bottle clipart that I found on The Graphics Fairy.

New Festive Parties!

I know, it's been forever since I've posted anything.  Sorry!  Since my last post, I have made three Halloween parties and a Fall/Thanksgiving invitation & tent cards.  Here's the first Halloween party that I created:

For that one, I used a lot of vintage images, mostly from The Graphics Fairy Blogspot.

For the invitation, I used a Victorian House from The Graphics Fairy:

Took it into Photoshop, isolated it, darkened it, and added some glowing windows:

Then I took some trees and put them behind the house.

I also took a Halloween type design (also from Graphics Fairy) 

and redrew it as a repeating pattern in Adobe Illustrator to create a border for the invitation.

And voila!  Here is the invitation:

I also used some other patterns from Graphics Fairy

And redrew them in Illustrator to create some backgrounds and borders for the papers, tent cards, cupcake toppers, etc.

(I added the spiders :o)

I hope you like them!

I'll be posting about how I created my other parties in the next few days, so check back!
