Bring back the memories of your perfect day with these wedding thank you cards, featuring a personalised art sketch. Your venue is illustrated in watercolour, making it the ideal final piece of your wedding stationery.
The basic listing is just for your cards - please select the additional options if you'd also like to receive your sketch! (The ideal first anniversary present...!)
DESIGN PROCESS
Your illustration is entirely created by hand, with the line work done first with black ink, before the texture and life are added with watercolour. The style is quick, sketchy and loose - all adding to the lively detail of the artwork.(If you'd prefer a more detailed, slightly neater, portrait, please see my other listings.)
I create your custom sketch from your photos, and am happy to add in extra details (a floral display, or some special staging from your wedding) on request. I can also add a hand-lettered or typed caption beneath the image if desired: your names, wedding date, name of the venue, or your thanks.
Please send your photo(s) as soon as possible after purchasing the listing so we can get started, along with any other requests or preferences for your artwork. If you are also able to provide an address to be identified on google maps, or the venue website, that's often helpful.
I will send a scan of your sketch for your approval, and a proof of the card design before printing and am happy to rework and adjust if required to make sure they're perfect.
CARD DETAILS
Your illustration and choice of text will be digitally printed onto textured 300gsm card for a heavyweight, luxurious finish, and come complete with white envelopes. They're blank inside - if you'd like a message printed inside please also purchase this listing: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/573449177/add-message-inside-cards?ref=shop_home_active_2
The cards measure 10.5 x 14.8cm (A6 - normal greeting card size) and can be posted with a standard size stamp in the UK. They are blank on the reverse apart from my logo and details in small print.
I can print as many cards as required - message me for prices for larger quantities.
SKETCH DETAILS
This is a hand-drawn sketch, with watercolour detail. The artworks tend to be square and roughly 14x14 cm (5.5 inches), on 300gsm heavyweight watercolour paper, although that obviously depends a bit on the dimensions of your building!
Your signed original sketch can either be unframed and packaged in a cellophane sleeve, or framed beautifully to complement the artwork. I use black or white wooden frames with off-white mounts, custom made for these sketches. The glazing is acrylic, just as clear as glass but lighter and safer to hang (and post!) Framed artworks measure approximately 25cm square.
TIMINGS
Please check the estimated delivery date for current turnaround time - it varies depending on how busy I am! If you need your order earlier, or for a particular date, do get in touch and I'll see what I can do.
POSTAGE AND DELIVERY
Your cards will come beautifully wrapped and then safely packed to survive the post, sent by Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on the size of the package. First class mail in the UK takes 1-2 working days, and international standard to the US takes 3-11 working days. All orders over £20 are sent by recorded mail. Contact me for alternative or expedited shipping options.
SHIPPING TO THE EU FROM JAN 2021: When a package is delivered internationally, it may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and/or fees imposed (e.g. handling fees) by the destination country. These charges are typically due once the package arrives in the destination country. I'm afraid I can’t predict which of these fees, if any, will be applicable to your order. Please check locally. I'm happy to confirm the packaging size and shipping method before ordering, if required.
