Merry Christmas

I finally snapped photos of these fun letterpressed Christmas cards. Designer Kate Allen incorporated my spot calligraphy into her own card design, including the custom return address envelope wrap. I’m not sure which I love more: the contrast of outlined block lettering and lowercase script calligraphy, or the translucency of the red letterpress ink that lets the block lettering outlines show through.
