maria just sent over her new cards for october. a gorgeous letterpressed orchid print made with a dark purple/blue ink is joined by a printing with texture but no color. stunning. maria is always churning out beautiful limited edition cards. you can pick up your set right here for $20. you can also pick up mav’s limited edition designs for the d*s shop right here- enjoy!

[sidenote: i was able to meet up with maria for the first time in brooklyn last weekend and i can personally vouch for her being just as awesome as her cards. it's so wonderful to meet such talented women working in design]

hi – I wonder if you could tell me more about how what is meant by ‘joined’ here – I am not sure how printing with texture and no color resulted in this stunning card?

thanks,
Barbara

the card combines an image printed with ink (the dark purple orchid) and an image printed without ink, but just the imprint- see the imprint in the bottom picture? that one doesn’t use ink. mav often combined an inked imprint with one that doesn’t use ink. i love it :)
