I just shipped these greeting cards off to their new family, the proud folks over at Petit Collage in San Francisco. This card and the one following the jump are the first two in a new series of letterpress printed cards designed by Petit Collage for sale in their online store. Super tight registration on this one with some great detail and patterning (check out the reverse woodgrain), printed on sustainable bamboo paper (with touch of cotton to help it feel supple). I love the eyes here—if you can check out the larger image, you’ll see that the negative round spaces that make the shape of the eyes are the letterpressly answer to googly eyes. Check out the Petit Collage site soon for these lovely cards and, hopefully, more to come soon.
