Calligraphy Inspiration: Plurabelle Calligraphy

I’m met with an appeased feeling when I see calligraphy with personality; when a lettering style and a colour palette paint a picture in your head of what the person would be like as you look at it.  When I first came across the work of Molly Suber Thorpe of Plurabelle Calligraphy, I got that feeling.  What captured my attention was how unique each project felt.  Some sincerely whimsical, while others strikingly sophisticated.  Molly works closely with individuals to ensure their desires are met, creating beautiful calligraphy for her clients. – Julie

Plurabelle Save the Date stamp
The array of beautiful ink and envelope colours in her portfolio may inspire the palette for your own event.  When it comes time for the invitations, try a simple custom approach like the save the date stamp above.

Some cards from Rifle Paper Co. and the perfect shade of green set these place cards apart from the rest.  A match made in heaven, don’t you agree?

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  I’ve been a flurry of activity this week – I’m determined to make it through a bunch of apartment projects that have been on my to do list for what feels like months.  I’ve been hanging shelves and artwork, painting, organizing, and much more.  The last few weeks have been crazy busy, but I love the sense of accomplishment that comes with checking something off my list.  Don’t you?  I’m off to go pick up some paint samples for my next project, but in the meantime…
