My brother loves a girl

He came to me with a favor: Could I create personalised stationery for him and his girlfriend, so they could write to each other during his summer internship in Washington D. C.? We researched some images online, discussed overall "themes," and went to the Paper Plus Outlet on San Pablo (a crafter's dream store).

 

Preliminary sketch of girlfriend's stationery, featuring the gate to her house in El Cerrito. 

  

Final product (not shown) was printed on marbled cream paper with matching envelopes.

We found airmail envelopes at Paper Plus. Score! Handmade 'luggage tag,' recycled ribbon.

Finished product wrapped in protective and professional plastic envelope. Girlfriend's packet had blue organza ribbon, and included 13 airplane stickers as envelope seals.
