  • Golden Black Squares for MA Allen Interiors

    Another awesome duplexed card. This one’s for interior design firm, MA Allen Interiors.

Overall, it’s sort of a modified combination of elements from Whirl and Vignette, with a custom, gold-foil-stamped art element. This set included an RSVP card with printed return address envelopes, and…
