I’m a long-time fan of the beautiful art of papercutting, from greeting cards to artwork to ketubahs and marriage certificates. Â So when artist Naomi Shiek sent over her collection of stunning woodland papercut wedding invitations, well, let’s just say it was love at first sight. Â Naomi draws her inspiration from nature, with each lovely design focuses on a specific botanical theme.
From Naomi: Â I am a huge fan of tactile stationery, I think there’s nothing more beautiful than feeling the images as well as seeing them. Â My inspiration is always nature and folklore. Â I enjoy the process of papercutting and the imagery is influenced by the slow reveal of the silhouette during the cutting process. Â With my invitations & reply cards I wanted to create nature scenes with an air of romance and mystique about them and I wanted the handmade craft to show through. Â There are seven pre-made designs in the collection: Wings, Dandelion, Peonies In Bloom, Big Flower, Deer Beloved, Fern, and Bamboo. Â Each design includes an invitation and reply card.
