Invitation Suites Stewart
for a sweet bride. Dana has created and named her series
~Invitations Suites~
after her special brides & grooms.
Dana designed & created this business card recently.
Her only instructions were...
"just as the competition for the most exotic colors and flavors
continue to unfurl in Paris...with gold gilt engraving, of course."
Dana engraved in gold on chocolate European paper!
Her client loved that it was like a classic bittersweet chocolate macaroon with a touch of edible gold leaf or classic French gold gilt~ This card will represent to her clients customers the love for the simple chocolate macaroon with a bittersweet chocolate ganache filling~
Dana's words...
"I do what I love … being an artist ∙ designer ∙ calligraphist ∙ gardener ∙ shopaholic ∙ proprietress of A Fine Line ~ a stationery boutique and lover of all things paper … I love what I do ~creating an artful life".
Please go visit Dana especially if you are in need of custom invitations,
stationary, business cards, or a personal watercolor~
She is the BEST!!!
Uh Uh Uh!!!Have a week with
"puddles of inspiration"
my friends!
Thank You Noel for introducing Dana to me when she custom orderedMiss Swan from you~
