The Crafty Lass does… Birthday Invitations Commission!
I recently received a delightful commission for a ‘zoo-themed’ toddler’s birthday invitations…I had a LOT of fun with this one – who wouldn’t love spending time designing and creating some cheeky little meerkats and monkeys on Illustrator! It has really inspired me to think about future invitation design ideas, and even a new range of
