We’ve printed cards for the friendly folks at Empress a few times now. This time around, we helped develop a new design with artwork based on Emily’s tattoo, thick duplexed paper, and gold edge paint.

Intricate yet simple two-sided client-designed invites for their Victoria, Australia wedding.
PAPER 350g Colorplan Cool Blue
INK Pantone 709 custom mix
These might be my favorite client-designed invitations this year. The bride, Nisha, designed three different invites for her various California wedding festivities.
All three have a common feel — employing the same border art, black ink, and copperplate type. But Nisha used different title art for each and we printed them with three different fluorescent letterpress inks — neon orange, deep magenta, a bright pink. We finished each set with three different edge paints — electric blue, highlighter yellow, and metallic silver.
Finally, we used the neon orange ink to print the flap of the fluorescent white envelope.
And what the hell, how about a few more photos...
