Sunday Sample Spotlight: "At First Blush"

Today's Sunday Sample Spotlight might look familiar to you. I've shown pictures of this stationery set on this blog before, and have featured the pattern I used to create the design on a Fancy/Funky Friday post.

"At First Blush" - Invitation Trio (invite, reply card & information insert)

This is an interesting stationery set because it feels both soft and romantic (thanks to the pink and white color scheme, the feminine ribbons, and the pale pink vellum overlay) and has a bit of an edge (thanks to the angular Gothic/Old English font and pattern). This would be the perfect stationery for a romantic affair held at an urban, downtown German pub - so if you ever host such a unique event, this is the invitation design for you! ;)




The font and pattern are rather masculine, even though it features little hearts and is (at least for this sample), a brilliant hot pink color. But the overall feeling of this stationery set is definitely the feminine - the oversized bows and vellum overlays cover everything masculine with several shades of pink. It's an interesting mix, and perfect for a unique venue, decor, or event.




The stationery was all printed on my standard white cardstock and paired with metallic "pink azalea" colored envelopes. The directions page and invitation are cloaked in a thin transparent pink vellum overlay and decorated with two hand-tied bows. The bows are looped through small holes along the top to hold the stationery and vellum together, making them both pretty and functional. With its emphasis on hearts and shades of pink, this stationery set would also be perfect for Valentine's Day, or any other romantic event. :)
