New Invitations!

Since creating the new shop on Etsy, Bec Art Design, I have been so busy creating new hand painted card sets! I am happy to report that it is off to a good start with a few sales already in the books; how exciting?! I have also begun working on a set of wedding invitations per a request and have decided to document the process a bit to share with you! Many do not realize the numerous steps involved in creating a personalized, hand crafted, and hand painted invitation. So here we go folks.

As with any type of artwork that I do, I always start with some sketches. Sometimes I get to my sketch book in time, and sometimes I just pick up whatever scrap is nearest whether it be an envelope from the day's mail, an advertisement mailer, or even the water bill! It can make organizing everything a problem, but it always works out in the end. :)

Next, I'll be trying out different colors, placements, and sizes to start narrowing down the ideas even more!
See you soon!

Mat Day!

I had tons of fun matting today! :) It was so long overdue and many of my little watercolor paintings were in need of a nice lookin' mat. One series is now ready for Etsy and another is nearly finished too so check back soon.

Wine Charms

I recently made a set of wine charms for a gift and I love how they turned out! There are 6 in the set and each one consists of a tropical floral motif charm with coordinating beads strung on a wire clasp. They were assembled in a bright yellow box onto which I attached a hand painted label. If you are interested in a set of your own let me know! For more images, check out Becky Sorrentino Studio on Facebook!

Mother's Day!

Sneak Peek! Take a peek at some great cards I've created for Mother's Day! They will be posted soon to Etsy...

There's one of each for sale on Etsy: Cherry Blossom, Camellia, and Magnolia Blossom. They measure about 4 1/2" x 6 1/8" each and come with a white envelope. They are HAND PAINTED and HAND CUT. The trifold design allows for the front cut out flap to fold back and reveal an original floral watercolor painting; perfect as a gift itself! For $3.00 I will include a neutral mat and tabs with easy instructions on how to mat this one of a kind artwork ready for a standard size frame! Card and gift in one! :)

Not one of your Mom's favorite flowers? Contact me and I can work to create a special flower painting/card just for her!

The inside is blank, but if you have something you would like to include printed on the inside (poetry, personal message, etc.), let me know!

**Mom's birthday coming up too? These make great birthday cards as well!
