Hand-Drawn Heirloom Christening Gown Invitation
A hand-drawn landscape christening invitation with a pencil-sketched heirloom gown on a clothesline, soft watercolor washes and room for the details.
A landscape christening invitation for a family that passes down one gown. A pencil-sketched christening gown hangs from a clothesline between two wooden posts, with names stitched in gold script down its skirt and the newest, largest at the hem. On the right, the baby's name is set big in script, followed by the host line, date and time, the church and lunch locations side by side, and a reply line with a phone number. Soft graphite lines, pale watercolor washes in robin's egg blue and sunny gold, clover green grass and a linen white paper ground give it a gentle, proud, family feel. It also suits a baptism or naming day by swapping the names and details.
