SIGNATURE COCKTAIL: Sparkling White Peach Sangria
December 28, 2013 by
Cheers! Clink! … At your reception, Signature Cocktails are another fun way to share your personality with your guests.
Recently, I created a custom-illustrated Signature Drink sign for Erin and Anthony’s wedding. I just loved the idea. …
Then while browsing Anthropologie’s blog I spotted IT’S 5-O’CLOCK SOMEWHERE posts. And then found FRIDAY HAPPY HOUR at Oh So Beautiful Paper. There are so many great ideas to be had out there.
Sparkling White Peach Sangria
Ingredients:
- 1 (750 ml) bottle Riesling, or other white wine of your choice
- 4 peaches, cut into wedges (about 2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 1/2 cup peach vodka
- 1 (750 ml) bottle chilled peach flavored sparkling wine
Directions:
In a large pitcher combine white wine, peaches, sugar (if desired) and peach vodka. Chill for 3 hours or until cold.
When ready to serve, pour in peach flavored sparkling wine and stir gently.
CHEERS!

Tropical Beach Wedding Invitations
December 27, 2013 by
Today, I am in LOVEEE with this Florida beach wedding invitations and wedding stationery suite. If your wedding is on the lawn by the sea or on the beach under a palm tree, you will love this beach chic design too! This first wedding invitation design is a TRUE Signature favorite at Mospens Studio.
Bright white thick cards deckled by hand. Adorning watercolor tropical hibiscus flower in the tropical pinks. Wrapped with a beachy wraphia ribbon tied in a bow. Warm gray text in elegant fonts are truly inviting. { ORDER WEDDING INVITATIONS }
The best part? Your guests have an art print to keep as a momento! The vellum overlay is printed with your text, the card printed with just the Hawaiian hibiscus. The overlay is loose and easily is removed once the ribbon is untied.
Save the dates are the perfect way to introduce your wedding date (and theme / wedding branding) to your guests. Save the dates can be mailed out 6-12 months before your wedding day. { ORDER SAVE THE DATES }
As I was preparing these samples for a bride-to-be, I found myself designing more and more pieces to match! Attach matching WELCOME! tags to your guests’ Welcome Bags. Too cute.
The thank you cards adorned with hand-painted tropical green palm tree fronds in watercolor paint. LOVE! { ORDER THANK YOU CARDS }
Last but not least … Mail your wedding announcements the day of your wedding or a tiny bit after. You can have them addressed, sealed and ready to go, then have a friend or relative drop them in the mailbox for you. Be sure to include your “at home” address for those who did not attend your wedding and who would love to send you a gift!
The samples were originally created for a bride-to-be’s wedding in Key West Florida. This SIGNATURE design can be customized to match your wedding color scheme and theme. Contact me directly for details.
Happy Friday to you! CHEERS!
#TuesdayShoesday: Christmas Chic
December 24, 2013 by
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! And it is a great time to introduce Tuesday Shoesday at Mospens Studio. Each Tuesday I will paint a NEW high heel, flip flop, or shoe artwork and feature here.
Today is Christmas Eve and I wanted to design and paint a fun HOLLY JOLLY high heel for you. Sleek design, with polka-dots of course, and fluffy faux fur trim. Adorned with holly leaves and berries. After I painted the art, I just had to design note cards. Too much fun!

Hand-painted RUSTIC WEDDING INVITATIONS? Yes. PLEASE. This oh-so-sweet rustic wedding invitation captures the elegance every wedding couple loves. {{ NOW AVAILABLE IN OUR SIGNATURE COLLECTION! }}
I have to admit, I am head over heels in love with Kelley and Anthony’s custom wedding invitation.
Less TRULY is More.
Hand-painted sweet and simple hearts in the lightest pink watercolor paint. EACH 100% cotton card was hand-painted by hand.
Letterpress just makes me happy. The printing technique is impressed (called a kisss) into soft cotton invitations. Beautiful and instantly adds luxury to all invitation designs. At Mospens Studio, James and I do prefer a deep kiss … for our letterpress printing.
The texture of cotton is gorgeous.
Kelley hand-tied each rustic wedding invitation with twine. This design is truly romantic with a rustic twist.
Soft pink and gray wedding colors were carried through perfectly with their wedding invitations. The pearl white tree free cardstock is luxurious and soft to the touch.
Hundreds of painted watercolor hearts drying. Next they were assembled by hand and attached to beautiful tan rustic metallic cardstock. Perfect for a vintage wedding with a modern country-chic twist!
I’m delighted to say I am have been designing a beautiful country-chic rustic wedding invitations collection! I can not wait to share. Keep an eye on my blog for updates!!
