As the wintry and romantic month of February draws to a close, I have one final feminine Sunday Sample Spotlight to showcase: "All Dolled Up."
This stationery set, which includes a wedding invitation, reply card, save-the-date, and matching shower invitation but could be adapted to any event, has a very delicate winter color scheme - salmon, light pink, and pure white, with just a hint of black. All of the envelopes are bright white linen, so they have that pure white color and that soft texture that's so crucial to this set. The stationery is also printed on matching bright white linen.
Different shades of analogous soft colors, like peaches, salmons, and pinks, are terrific. Who says you have to settle on one exact shade of pink? Mixing and matching a lot of slightly different shades feels vintage and can make for some really beautiful decorations. In these designs, the pretty pinks are so subdued that white becomes the dominant color (a very "wintry" thing to do). The thin-strokes of the delicate font and the patterns that decorate the edges of the designs add just enough color to offset the neutral white and black.
This pattern is one of my favorites. I love how much white negative space it lets in and how the rows are offset from each other to create that brick-like repetition so that you get the horizontal and vertical rectangle-like shapes. Plus, the pattern was created out of such a beautiful font that it's filled with little details and loops that are so elegant. Just gorgeous!
