Tamarindo, Costa Rica

After a 2 month haitus, I finally finished this one up last night. at 3 am. while watching the British version of ‘The Office’. Its so much funnier than the English version! Its so hilarious! Anyway, I made this for my friend’s birthday, who recently moved to Tamarindo (jealous, ya?) to help lead a church. hence, the little grass-hut church in the background. I’ve seen pictures of the church, and it is literally one huge grass hut! This one’s colored pencils and paint pens. Happy New Year!

This is an invitation I made for my sister’s bridal shower. Made to emulate a vintage sewing pattern. The dress pieces go inside of the envelope, pictured in the middle.

And lastly, a little birthday card!
