An Invitation That Feels Like a Tire (Includes Video)
This week, PaperSpecsGallery.com calls attention to the Harlie Invitation. Think Marilyn Monroe sitting atop a Harley-Davidson. This vision and vivid story conveyed here in this invitation is beautifully enhanced with a mix of substrates. The outer envelope feels like a tire but with a sophisticated dot pattern, which is replicated in the rose-petal-like RSVP envelope.
The main invitation is white thick Cordenons Plike from Neenah Paper, and is adhered to a black chipboard that adheres to a black faux suede substrate. So many exciting ideas in this mind-blowing invitation.
This piece was designed by Suzie McKig and Stephanie Laursen and was printed by Twig & Fig in Berkeley, CA.
