a seduction in letterpress


 

That's it. I'm hooked on letterpress. I have been mildly obsessed with the dark grey + gold colour combination for the past couple of years. It seemed only natural that it end up on my new business cards. The gold ink stamped onto flannel-like paper is so seductive. After investigating my options, @letterpresslove came back with the best quote and swift customer service. Aptly, named, don't you think? 

The specs are as follows 
Paper: French Paper Co., Dur-O-tone in Steel Grey, 100 lb. cover weight
Ink: Pantone 874 (house gold), 2 hits
Size: 1.5H x 3W (inches)

Thanks so much to Amy for the letterpress printer recommendation!
