Today's Sunday Sample Spotlight features a unique color combination of dark plum, dark turquoise, and bright snow white. With such a modern color scheme, the bold vine pattern looks even more fresh and fun, giving this stationery set a playful, casual vibe.
For the envelope, I selected a dark purple metallic "Himalaya" pocketfold envelope, which folds closed to fit into a standard A7 invitation envelope and has a little pocket on the right to house reply cards, reply envelopes, and any other information you wish to include for your guests.
I lined the left flap and right pockets with funky vine-patterned scrapbook paper I had, and then scanned in the leftovers to use on the printed stationery. I selected the blue leaves and dots off of the paper and added it as decorative elements around the invitation and reply card.
I put a leaf-less line of dots around the couple's names to draw the eye to that information, and used the same blue and purple colors found on the envelope and leaf designs as the font colors to help tie it all together.
I used two leaf shapes from the design as the "reply boxes" on the RSVP card, and made the line for guests to write their names out of the decorative dots. Whenever I get a chance to make part of the design functional on the RSVP card, I definitely try. It artistically connects the two items to help them seem like a cohesive set, while at the same time using the design elements in a new way to keep them from feeling too stale and repetitive.
