Busy! That's all I have for you, besides photos of why I'm saying that word. This wedding invitation was printed on super thick pearl white paper with black ink. L-o-v-e-i-t! Designed by Yes Ma'am Creative, who is available for contact on Etsy here, the bride is pairing the invitation with a brown "paper bag" envelope. She also designed the complimenting stationery, which was on a matching soft white paper. The whole suite has that cool factor, without being over the top.

Greetings!
Letterpress Definition (from wikipedia):
{Letterpress printing is relief printing of text and image using a press with a "type-high bed" printing press and movable type, in which a reversed, raised surface is inked and then pressed into a sheet of paper to obtain a positive right-reading image. It was the normal form of printing text from its invention by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century until the 19th century and remained in wide use for books and other uses until the second half of the 20th century. In addition to the direct impression of inked movable type onto paper or another receptive surface, letterpress is also the direct impression of inked printmaking blocks such as photo-etched zinc "cuts" (plates), linoleum blocks, wood engravings, etc., using such a press.}
So basically, it's an inked impression in or on paper or other textiles. I will be sharing some of the work I'm doing here, and also make my little business known to others who might be interested in letterpress. Enjoy!
