Getting commissioned for special occasions cards is one of the most pleasurable of items we can do as calligraphers. This particular card has been made using white Dr. Martins Bleedproof white on Navy Blue cover paper. Dr. Martins is particularly good for it opaque qualities especially on dark colours. I much prefer this to using white gouache.
The above picture shows the front of the card....sadly the photos don't do the colours justice and it really is the most gorgeous Navy Blue. Other colours are available including Red, Green, Yellow, Tan....and others.
The above picture shows the 3-fold card in its entirety. The inside italic lettering sets the card of wonderfully.
