NSS Perspectives, Part 6 (Final Post)

This is my final post in the “NSS Perspectives” series, and I’m a little sad to be done. I feel so grateful to all of the paper lovers who have taken the time to post about the show on their blogs and through Twitter. As some of my readers have said, I sometimes felt as if I were right there on the show floor because the coverage was so in depth. So, thank you to everyone who has shared their perspective of this year’s NSS. I really hope to get there next year!

Now, onto the final group of perspectives:

Bold Peacock Letterpress Invitations

The bold colors on this letterpress project (not to mention the awesome peacock illustrations), printed by Studio on Fire and designed by Sheraton Green from CSA Design, immediately caught my eye. Would you guess that these are wedding invitations? Oh, to be invited to this wedding and receive one of these invitations!
