Hi,
I did gold on chocolate brown envelopes recently, and the results were so so fabulous! See my post here: http://joiestudio.blogspot.com/2007/12/awesome-envelopes.html

You could totally do this with screen printing. Check out http://www.parlorrugby.com/portfolio/wedding/
There are a few examples there of light on dark, you can do pretty cool stuff with screenprinting inks.

You did printmaking in school though, no? There are so many options once you understand basic printmaking concepts.

The best white stamping ink is made by a company called MEMORIES.
It is a thick, opaque, dye based white ink, on a pad. I buy it off Ebay, but I am sure it’s available at all the usual sources.

Stamping white is going to be an issue. The paper will absorb the ink & you will prob. not get that clean & crisp affect you posted. I recommend engraving white on a dark stock it looks lovely & has a textured feeling to it. Or you can have a silk screen cut & then use a paint, which also will feel crisp and have a slight hand-made feel. Good luck.
