Fun with Monograms

Well, I finally bought into the monogram trend! I initially thought it was kind of silly since I didn't think I'd have to many places to put one. Well, that was before I figured out I'd need something to connect the ends of our invitation belly bands! So, it was "hello, monogram!"

I was pretty dead set on incorporating our damask theme into the monogram design. So, here are my various iterations of the damask monogram...

The first monogram I came up with mimicked our invitation and save the date design. I like it, but I thought it might be overkill! :) So, then I started playing around with just a single damask image...

Cute, but unfortunately, it's a little too hard to read. :( So, I tired to make the K a little darker...

Uh oh! Still can't read our names so well! And at its final size of 1.5" by 1.5", the text would be positively illegible.

Well, that's better! By flipping the color of the text, the monogram instantly became much more legible! Plus, I like that the pink and orange are both in the background. I can't really explain why, but it seems much more cohesive! :)

Once I figured out how to use Photoshop, it was relatively easy to create these monograms!

Ciao,
