Our Cards and Pockets Entry

Well, even though we didn't win, we were awfully proud of our entry! We though it was a unique twist on the Cards and Pockets' signature pocket folder. The elegant eggplant combined with the lavender accents provided the perfect backdrop for this French-inspired invitation suite. We borrowed a custom stamp used in one of our current clients' invitation suites to top it all off with a personalized touch.

The first thing we like to point out is the binding on the right hand side of the suite - the solid eggplant baker's twine was carried into the belly band as well, pulling it together. 

Once you open it up, you can see that the hand binding tied in a beautiful, unique center fold featuring a music score printed on a white vellum showcased in an eggplant frame. 

The French theme is also carried with the classic fleur de lis, which is a symbol of royalty.... not just the Saints people!

The French theme is also continued with the full spelling of the RSVP.

The suite expanded - as you can see, that fleur de lis continues through!

This was the photo we actually submitted - they said you could only submit one photo. If we had known we could have made a collage to submit as one photo, we would have definitely done that! Next year, my friends, next year.

Well until next year, Cardsandpockets.com. We will be back!
