Sunday Sample Spotlight: "Pop Rocks"

Happy Sunday! Today's sample stationery set is all about metallic shine!

"Pop Rocks" - Invitation Duo (invite & reply card)

Hot pink and black are an exciting color combination for any event - but add a little metallic sparkle, and the bold color scheme pops even more! I used metallic pink and metallic black papers to create this stationery set. The main envelope is a metallic pink pocketfold, but the reply card fits inside an onyx black envelope for a bit of contrast. I also lined both the invitation and reply card in the same metallic onyx cardstock to help the crisp white stationery stand out even more from the hot pink base envelope, and help tie everything together.

For the actual stationery design, I kept things relatively simple so that the sparkly envelopes would still get the most attention. I used a casual blocky pattern to flank the left and right sides of the invitation and the right side of the reply card, and repeated parts of that pattern to break up the paragraphs of text. Finally, the text is an easy-to-read sans serif font in the same pink and black colors as the envelopes.





In the two photos above, you can really see how well the metallic papers shine when tilted or moved toward a light source. They're so beautiful!
