Watercolour and Calligraphy Place Cards

Stationery episode 1: Wedding Place Cards This is the first episode to take you behind the scenes of my watercolour wedding stationery business. Today I'm sharing an exclusive project with you; how to create beautiful watercolour place cards for your wedding or event. With weddings being limited to 30 people at the time of filming it seems like an opportunity to spend a little more time on the details and create something truly beautiful. These place cards could double up as a favour for each guest to cherish and take home. In this tutorial I show you how to use your new flower painting skills to decorate the place card, compare the paper types, use an eyelet puncher and attach silk ribbon. If you've enjoyed this video and would like to support me further take a look at my Patreon page at https://bit.ly/3briO5P to see what we've got to offer.
