***Buy 4 greetings cards of any design and get the cheapest one free***
This elegant letterpress greeting card Swallow is illustrated with a beautiful Swallow mid flight. Printed in metallic blue and bright orange / red ink and full of texture. Swallows are such graceful birds in flight and make me think of warm summer evenings.
Letterpress is a beautiful vintage technique using gorgeous machines, it is a true craft. The cards have a tactile, embossed finish, exuding quality with thick paper stock and crisp pressed design.
This card can be purchased alone or ideally accompanying a piece of Swallow Jewellery which can be sent directly to the gift recipient, making a complete gift package.
The card is left blank inside or we can handwrite a message for you, pop your desired message in the box below.
Lizzie Parker's designs are striking, bright and simple using just one or two colours to depict the shadows, highlights and character of animals concentrating on their eyes. She uses simple lines and shapes to not only get lovely texture with the print form but to also suggest the character of that animal.
All of the designs are produced on an original Heidelberg Platen Windmill printing press from the early 20th century, all our cards are printed on a 100% recycled paper stock milled in Germany. The paper has a beautiful high-quality finish which works in perfect harmony with the letterpress printing to realise Lizzie's designs and get greater impression in printing.
The way in which we use letterpress printing is modern and unique to anyone else in the industry juxtaposing the old and the new giving the work a wonderfully tactile finish which can be both seen and felt. We also feel that choosing to print our cards letterpress has also shaped her design style with her economic use of bold colours mostly combining one bright with one dark to get the greatest impact.
