Ali Aschman Letterpress Note Cards

March 03, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

I recently discovered illustrator Jane Foster’s shop, and I can’t get enough of her colorful, Scandinavian-inspired style. Her screen prints and screen printed cards are so fun a cheery, and she also designs great screen printed totes, softie toys and dolls, and patterned pillows/cushions.

Here are just a few of her screen printed paper goodies:
