wedding favours: letterpress printed bookmarks




A couple of weeks ago I posted about a set of custom bookmarks that I was working on. Here they are, all 200 of them featuring a cranberry red. A lot of work is not so bad if done in stages. Cutting, punching, threading, printing were all done on separate days.

Here's to Sarah and Daniel on their special day!

Very pretty! I always do wedding sets in stages... makes it much easer to handle, lol.. you're so right! Love that little tree illustration too...

I'm always curious about this...
Where did that tree come from? Did you draw it by hand? Scan it from a book? Download a vector file?

I always wonder where these little bits of artwork come from.

Daniella: I even mixed the ink on a separate day because I knew it would take a little while to get it just right.

Joseph: this particular image of the tree was provided by the client.

Ooooh, that colour is beautiful! I love the cranberry! And that's a very sweet idea for favours.

Those are beautiful. Do the different languages reflect the backgrounds of the bride and groom? Either way, it was a lovely idea.

Melinda Josie: the cranberry is a great colour, red doesn't often make it into the studio so it was a nice change :)

Micheline: thank you! And you are right about the different languages.

These are beautiful!!! I'm curious though, why doesn't read often make it into the studio?

Christine Gittings: Red just isn't one of my go-to colours. I often move towards neutrals or blues first.
