<p class="p1"><span class="s1">My letter-writing campaign has certainly given out lots of stationery — which is its whole point — but it&#8217;s also put me in touch with creatives like Julia of <a href="http://www.evamoonpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Eva Moon Press</a>. She wrote me several months back from her home atop Mt. Tabor in Portland on precious stationery from <a href="http://ilfant-press.webflow.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ilfant Press</a>, I sent her a big box of goodies from <a href="http://www.rossi1931.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rossi 1931</a> — and I also got the opportunity to swoon over her work. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Check out Julia&#8217;s beguiling Safari invitation suite. I can see why it&#8217;s one of her favorite custom designs!</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> &#8220;This</span><span class="s1"> wedding invitation suite paired my original watercolor artwork (on the back of the invitation) with classic typography and simple botanical illustrations,&#8221; she told me. &#8220;The watercolor provides bold texture and playfulness, while the refined typography balances the design. Gold silhouettes of a giraffe and elephant were used atop the RSVP card and place cards. The menu design echoes the invitation&#8217;s botanical illustration. Because I love ephemera, I also sourced vintage stamps for the invitation and RSVP envelopes.&#8221;</span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13556" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SafariStyledShoot-1-small.jpg" alt="SafariStyledShoot - 1 small" width="800" height="533" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13557" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SafariStyledShoot-2-small.jpg" alt="SafariStyledShoot - 2 small" width="800" height="1075" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13558" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SafariStyledShoot-3-small.jpg" alt="SafariStyledShoot - 3 small" width="800" height="1200" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13559" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SafariStyledShoot-4-small.jpg" alt="SafariStyledShoot - 4 small" width="800" height="533" /><em>Wow</em>, right?
