Project Description
Since the fundraiser takes place in early May, we wanted the invitation to feel very "springy" and literately "blooming". This was achieved with delicate die-cut flowers who open up to reveal a brilliant metallic shade of orchid color beneath.Production Lesson(s)
Something I learned fairly early on: dream big, but then start scaling back when it actually comes down to production. For example, instead of sourcing a metallic colored card, we had to print the color on white stock due to cost.
