We're already halfway through January, but we still have a lot of winter to go. Today's Sunday Sample Spotlight features a great (and delicious sounding) color scheme for a winter event - wine and chocolate brown.
This invitation duo features an invitation and information card, each mounted on a dark wine/berry colored texture cardstock. For the envelope, I used a Bronze Brown Metallic Petal Card, which has four round flaps that fold in to create a rectangle that fits perfectly in an A7-sized envelope (not pictured). The dark purplish-red and deep brown with little metallic gold shine are great selections for a winter wedding (or other event). The colors are dark and rich, while still feeling warm.
As usual, I designed the pattern featured with text, and here the character I selected is still pretty obvious. The lowercase "s" shapes also hint at hearts, and I loved the little white squares the pattern created in the negative space when I lined them up with each other. The design is pretty simple, but the pattern is such a large scale that it's all the design that's needed. Just because your event is in the wintertime doesn't mean you have to pick a design that's as bleak and subdued as the cold gray weather! Rich colors and bold patterns work well together to make a strong statement about the sophistication of your event. :)
The photo above gives a better example of the metallic shine found on the envelopes. A little bit of sparkle and shine are almost requirements for winter event decor and stationery. Overdo the glitter and it can feel like a cliche holiday party, but just a touch of sparkle is a very sophisticated spin on this old tradition. Just keep the shine soft enough to only hint at the way streetlights sparkle on freshly fallen snow for the perfect amount. :)
