Happy Earth Day! In celebration, today's Sunday Sample Spotlight features recycled envelopes and a spring grass motif. :)
The envelopes for this wedding invitation set are all recycled "Kraft Brown" envelopes. The main envelope is a Himalaya style pocketfold, and the matching 4Bar reply card envelope is also shown. Because the envelopes are recycled, they are a little thinner than most of the envelopes I use, but they have a really cool texture to them that would be great for an eco-friendly or rustic-themed event.
I had a great piece of scrapbook paper made from a photograph of grass that I used for this design. I used the actual paper to line the left flap and right pocket of the Himalaya pocketfold envelope, and then scanned the paper into my computer to incorporate into the printed designs as well. The invitations and directions insert both feature a band of the grass at the top and bottom, and the reply card has a strip just along the top.
The typewriter-like font I used fit the theme of the vintage, recycled paper and grass motif very well, so I used it everywhere. I pulled the light green and black colors for the text right from the grassy scrapbook paper, and included a note at the bottom of the reply card and direction insert that encouraged the recycling of the invitation pieces after use.
Next week's Sunday Sample Spotlight: A bold flower illustration with a modern blue color scheme!
