Helen and Ben - a wedding



I've been meaning to post this for the last few weeks but time has been hard to come by!

This is a recent wedding suite that I created for Helen and Ben. They are getting married in the beautiful English countryside in July. The main colour of their event in 'Cadbury' purple so we toned this with soft rose and ivory for that classic feel.

You can read more about it and see all the pics on my new website here.

I came across this a few weeks back on Amanda from Calico & Co's personal blog. It's just so beautiful I wanted to share it with you all.

Why not pick your favourite line and make it your Facebook status for the day.

Have a safe and happy long weekend.

Wedding INSPIRATION


I'm working on another amazing wedding invitation suite at the moment and wanted to share some of the initial inspiration with you all!

The colour scheme is navy, red and gold and the overall theme is traditional with a touch of Italian glamour and a vintage edge.

The colours just work so well together and the red really gives the WOW factor.

Stay tuned for the final product!

The doors are now officially OPEN!



Well it's been a VERY busy last few weeks here at Buttercup Ink HQ but I'm very excited to be able to announce that the shiny new website and shop are now OPEN FOR BUSINESS! I love the new look for the site - thanks to my very talented and patient girlfriend, Ashleigh. You are awesome!!!


I'm really pleased with how the new collection has come together. It really reflects what I love about stationery - clean design with beautiful typography.

For all those in Melbourne, I'm taking the collection to the public this weekend and the fab Yarraville Markets. Can't wait to chat to everyone about the new designs.

So what do you think? I'd LOVE some feedback from all you style savvy readers!
