Finally, whoohoooo!! After visualizing in my head for so long how I’d want my business cards to look like, I’m so happy with how they turned out!

First I calligraphed a billion times on scratch paper before moving to nicer bristol paper (hey! bristol pads are pricey haha).

Then after choosing the best one, I digitized the design and plates were created.

Mixing paints, test running, cutting, and more swooning over textures and some hours later…

After letterpressing, I wanted to add some soft watercolor washes to each card. I loved the idea of each one being different and handpainted with care.

(Those blush/coral/pinky-orange colors just make my heart swell haha)

…AND VOILA!! My new business cards for A Cloud in the Sky! I’m not sure what I love more… the light and airy quality of the washes, or the HAPPY discovery that my rose macarons matched my cards haha! =)

…more to come! I’m working on getting that Etsy shop up and running!
